WHY CHOOSE Elgozon (ELAGOLIX)? GnRH agonists (e.g., Leuprolide, Triptorelin, Goserelin) effectively treat endometriosis symptoms but have limitations, including: - Delayed therapeutic impact (7 to 14 days) - E2 suppression to less than 20 pg/mL - Inability to titrate E2 levels - Unpredictable reversibility Reference: https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/22/21/11342
WHY CHOOSE Elgozon (ELAGOLIX)? OCP administration reduced dysmenorrhea by approximately 50%, but showed no benefit for non-menstrual pelvic pain or dyspareunia. Reference: https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/22/21/11342
