NCIt definition : A highly modified, fourth generation linear decapeptide with gonadotropin-releasing
hormone (GnRH or LHRH) antagonizing properties. Ozarelix competitively binds to and
blocks the gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor in the anterior pituitary gland,
thereby inhibiting the secretion and release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle
stimulating hormone (FSH). In males, the inhibition of LH secretion prevents the release
of testosterone. As a result, this may relieve symptoms associated with hormonally
dependent disease states such as hormone-dependent prostate cancer.;
