ACTH stimulates the secretion of adrenal cortical steroids and induces growth of the adrenal cortex.

Bivalirudin reduces the risk of blood clotting in adults with unstable angina pectoris, who are undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or a procedure to open blocked arteries in the heart.

Buserelin Acetate is an analogue of Gonadorelin with superagonist properties. It is used for the suppression of testosterone in the treatment of malignant neoplasms of the prostate; it is also used in the treatment of endometriosis and as an adjunct to ovulation induction with gonadotrophins in the...

Calcitonin is the drug of choice for the treatment of osteoporosis, which is the major indication. It is also used for the treatment of hypercalcemia and Paget’s disease.

Carbetocin is a drug used to control postpartum hemorrhage or bleeding after giving birth. It is an analogue of oxytocin, and its action is similar to that of oxytocin; it causes contraction of the uterus.

Deslorelin Acetate is a nonapeptide analogue of Gonadorelin (GnRH, LHRH). Deslorelin is intended for induction and timing of ovulation in oestrous mares.

Desmopressin is an analogue of the human antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin. It mimics the action of vasopressin on the kidneys to increase the reabsorption of water thereby reducing the volume of urine produced. Desmopressin is a synthetic cyclic nonapeptide, available as the acetate.

Eptifibatide reduces the risk of acute cardiac ischemic events in patients with unstable angina who are to receive non surgery (conservative) medical treatment and those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Exenatide is a synthetic version of exendin-4, an insulin secretagogue with glucoregulatory effects. It displays biological properties similar to human glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1), a regulator of glucose metabolism and insulin secretion. Exenatide enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion by...

Felypressin is a synthetic derivative of Vasopressin with similar actions.It is mainly used as a vasoconstrictor in local anaesthetic injections for dental use when sympathomimetic agents should be avoided.

Gonadorelin (the naturally occurring form of LHRH, also known as GnRH) is used in controlling the ovulation of women with decreased fertility and is, furthermore, used extensively for veterinary purposes, particularly in the cattle industry.

Goserelin acetate is an analogue of Gonadorelin with similar properties. It is used to treat prostate cancer, endometriosis, and advanced breast cancer.

Human Growth Hormone Releasing Factor (1-29) Amide is used as an in vivo diagnostic to test the function of the hypothamic-hypophyseal growth hormone axis. Its administration leads to the release of growth hormone from the normally functioning pituitary gland.

Lanreotide is a synthetic analogue of somatostatin, a naturally occurring inhibitory hormone which blocks the release of several other hormones, including growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), insulin and glucagon. Lanreotide binds to the same receptors as somatostatin, although with...

Leuprolide acetate is an analogue of Gonadorelin with similar properties. It is used for the treatment of prostate cancer. Furthermore, it is used for the treatment of central precocious puberty and in the management of endometriosis.

Octreotide acetate is an octapeptide analogue of Somatostatin with similar properties, but with a longer duration of action. The product is offered in countries where the patents have expired.

Oxytocin is used in human medicine for induction of labour, against bleeding after labour and for maintenance of milk secretion. In the cattle industry Oxytocin is used for milk letdown and for increase of milk production.

It stimulates the secretion of gastric acid, pepsin and intrinsic factor, and has been used as a diagnostic aid in the pentagastrin-stimulated Calcitonin test. Pentagastrin is also used as an in-vivo diagnostic to detect carcinoid tumors.

Somatostatin has been used mainly for its antisecretory effects in gastrointestinal disorders. Recently, effects in treatment of cancer have been reported.

Triptorelin is an analogue of Gonadorelin with a slower degradation than the natural hormone and exhibiting superagonist properties. It is used for the treatment of malignant neoplasm of the prostate as well as for treatment of infertility and other sex hormone-related conditions.

Vasopressin, (Arg-Vasopressin, Argipressin) is used for the treatment of diabetes insipidus, in emergency management of haemorrhaging esophageal varices, in the management of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding and in prevention and control of abdominal distension.
