Basic Information On Vantas
Vantas is an analog of GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone) and is a non-peptide. The drug is used for the palliative-treatment in patients with advanced prostate cancers. It is helpful in treating the symptoms of the prostate cancer. It is also used in treating children who have central precocious puberty (CPP). CPP is an onset of the sexual characteristics earlier than time in children. Brand or generic Vantas is involved in regulating many processes of the body. It is a potent inhibitor of GnRH secretion. Initially, the drug increases the levels of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) in the body. This leads to increased gonadal steroids. Then the drug reduces the FSH and LH levels in the body over a period of 2-4 weeks.
