Suprefact Depot, a sustained-release formulation containing Buserelin Acetate, has emerged as a breakthrough in the treatment of hormone-dependent conditions. As a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist, it is widely used to manage advanced prostate cancer and endometriosis. With convenient dosage options of 6.3 mg (every 2 months) and 9.45 mg (every 3 months), it ensures patient compliance and effective therapy.
PLGA 75:25: The Backbone of Controlled Release
The formulation of Suprefact Depot leverages PLGA 75:25, a biodegradable polymer composed of:
- Composition: 75% lactic acid and 25% glycolic acid.
- Molecular Weight: 20,000 – 50,000 g/mol.
- Inherent Viscosity (IV): 0.4 – 0.6 dL/g.
These properties allow precise control over the degradation rate and drug release profiles, making it ideal for sustained-release applications.
Applications of Suprefact Depot
Suprefact Depot’s unique formulation finds its primary applications in:
- Prostate Cancer Therapy:
- Suppresses testosterone levels to slow disease progression.
- Endometriosis Management:
- Reduces estrogen production, alleviating symptoms such as pain and inflammation.
- Fertility Treatments:
- Occasionally utilized in controlled ovarian stimulation protocols.
