At a glance
Histrelin is a nonapeptide GnRH agonist delivered as a once-yearly implant. Approved for central precocious puberty in children (Supprelin LA) and advanced prostate cancer (Vantas).

At a glance
01
Mechanism of action
Continuous GnRH-agonist stimulation downregulates and desensitises the pituitary GnRH receptors — after the initial rise, LH, FSH and the sex hormones fall persistently.
02
Evidence at a glance
Reading note. The distribution shows on which evidence tier each observation sits. Strong colours mark stronger evidence — weaker tiers are deliberately visible, not hidden.
03
What the studies show
Human trial
Mensch
Implant form (once a year) instead of regular injections.
What does NOT follow: An administration advantage; mechanistically identical to other GnRH agonists.
05
Pharmacokinetics
No robust pharmacokinetic human data available. A model curve is not invented.

Safer use & risks
Risk notes for harm reduction — descriptive, not a usage or dosing guide.
This substance is approved (in at least one country) — use belongs in medical hands, within the approved indication and a physician-set dose.
Online numbers are not a benchmark
Amounts from TikTok, YouTube and forums are mostly imitation rather than data — and are often wrongly derived from animal studies (µg/kg). Not a reliable benchmark for humans.
Sterility & infection risk
Injection solutions prepared or stored non-sterile carry an infection and abscess risk. Contamination is common with grey-market product.
Unknown product quality
Research-/grey-market product is not quality-tested: identity, purity and actual content are often unknown, and counterfeits occur.
Mind interactions
Combinations with medications or pre-existing conditions can carry risks (see the Interactions section). Clarify with a doctor beforehand.
Warning signs — seek medical help
With persistent pain, redness/swelling at the injection site, fever, shortness of breath, racing heart, chest pain or allergic reactions, seek medical help immediately.
A doctor, not a forum
Concrete questions about use and amount belong in a conversation with a doctor — not in a comment thread.
07
Known adverse events from studies
Factual reporting of what studies observed. Not a safety statement for individual use.
Human trial
Implant-site reactions; menopause-/andropause-like effects (hot flashes, bone-density loss)
A consequence of hormone suppression; close monitoring documented in children.

Interactions & combinations
Documented interactions and contraindications from studies, prescribing information and guidelines. Where no data exists, this is stated.
Reporting of risks, NOT a combination guide. The absence of an entry does not mean „safe to combine“ but „not sufficiently studied“.
No documented interactions recorded
We have not yet found robustly documented interactions for this peptide. This does NOT mean none exist — the data is limited.

Reconstitution calculator
Pure mg/mL maths — works like a calculator. Not a usage recommendation.
Peptides ship as a dry powder. Once dissolved in a liquid (reconstitution), this calculator answers a single question: how much substance is in one millilitre of solution afterwards?
- 1Enter the vial's substance amount (printed on the label).
- 2Enter how much solvent you add.
- 3Result = concentration in mg per mL.

mg / mL
5 mg in 2 mL gives 2.50 mg/mL — each millilitre contains 2.50 mg of substance.
