Excerpt

Degarelix is a parenterally administered, gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist that effectively blocks androgen production and is used to treat advanced prostate cancer. Degarelix therapy is associated with serum enzyme elevations during therapy, but has yet to be linked to instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.
