Q

gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist

A

GnRH agonists
also known as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists, they reduce testosterone through a negative feedback mechanism, causing an initial surge in test followed by gradual reduction

  • will cause decrease in bone density, sue w/ Ca and vitamin D
  • tumor flare: prevent w/ concurrent sue of antiandrogent

42
Q

pralatrexate

A

folotyn
- folate antimetabolites

43
Q

in autoimmune disease
folate

A
  • dose of methotrexate is much lower
  • folic acid is recommend prophylactically to reduce SE
  • leucovorin is NOT used unless the pt does not respond to folic acid
44
Q

in oncological disease
folate

A
  • dose of methotrexate is much higher
  • rescue the pt from high- dose tox, a reduced form of folate must be started after methotrexate has a chance to kill the chance cancer cells. Leucovorin or levoleucovorin is given
  • regular folate is not effective in rescue
  • folate is sued w/ pemetrexed and pralatrexate to reduce SE
