What is Trelstar mixject?

Trelstar Mixject is a man-made form of a hormone that regulates many processes in the body.

The Trelstar brand of triptorelin is used in men to treat the symptoms of prostate cancer. Trelstar treats only the symptoms of prostate cancer and does not treat the cancer itself.

The Triptodur brand of triptorelin is used to treat precocious puberty in boys and girls who are at least 2 years old.

Trelstar Mixject may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

Do not use if you are pregnant. Use effective birth control, and tell your doctor if you become pregnant during treatment.

Some people using Trelstar Mixject have had new or worsening mental problems or seizures (convulsions). Call your doctor right away if you have a seizure, or any unusual changes in mood or behavior (anger, aggression, crying, feeling restless or irritable).

Trelstar Mixject can cause a temporary increase in certain hormones, especially when you first start using this medicine. This may cause side effects that are similar to the condition being treated.

How should I use Trelstar mixject

Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets.

Trelstar Mixject is injected into a muscle. A healthcare provider will give you this injection.

Trelstar Mixject is usually given once every 4, 12, or 24 weeks. Your dose schedule will depend on the strength and brand of triptorelin you are using.

Trelstar Mixject can increase certain hormones when you first start using this medicine or after each new injection. This may cause symptoms of prostate cancer or precocious puberty to get worse for a short time. These side effects should get better within 1 to 2 months. Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve, or if they get worse while using this medicine.

You may need frequent medical tests.

This medicine can affect the results of certain medical tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using Trelstar Mixject.
