Committee Recommendations (1)

Following harmonisation of the licensed indications for goserelin, leuprorelin and triptorelin, it was agreed by PCN that all three drugs should be available and will be considered Amber * on the traffic light system. The choice of product should be informed by an individual patient's preferences in relation to route of administration and frequency of injections.
