Icatibant
Icatibant competitively blocks the bradykinin B2 receptor. Because bradykinin mediates the vascular permeability, swelling and pain typical of hereditary angioedema, the blockade interrupts the acute attack.
Triptorelin
Triptorelin binds with high affinity to the GnRH receptor in the pituitary. After initial stimulation of LH and FSH secretion (flare phase, about 1-2 weeks), receptor desensitisation follows with consecutive gonadotropin suppression. This results in a reversible chemical castration: in men testosterone, in women oestrogen suppression to the postmenopausal range.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Icatibant and Triptorelin?
- Icatibant is classified as "Ricerca (altro)", while Triptorelin is classified as "Ricerca (altro)". Icatibant: Icatibant is a synthetic decapeptide and selective antagonist of the bradykinin B2 receptor. It is approved to treat acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE). Triptorelin: Synthetic decapeptide GnRH agonist with increased affinity over native gonadotropin-releasing hormone. FDA- and EMA-approved since the 1980s for prostate cancer, endometriosis and precocious puberty. This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, Icatibant or Triptorelin?
- The highest available evidence level is "RCT sull'uomo" for Icatibant and "RCT sull'uomo" for Triptorelin. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
- What is the legal status of Icatibant and Triptorelin in Germany and the United States?
- Germania: Icatibant — Su prescrizione, Triptorelin — Su prescrizione. Stati Uniti: Icatibant — Su prescrizione, Triptorelin — Su prescrizione. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
