How Sufugolix works
Endometriosis is a painful, fertility threatening condition that is a result of tissue similar to that found in the womb lining growing elsewhere in the pelvis. The condition is sex hormone dependent, with gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), a hypothalamic decapeptide amide that plays an important part in the regulation of reproductive processes, being implicated. TAK-013 behaves as an insurmountable antagonist at the human receptor (hGnRHR). It suppresses gonadotropin release.
