TRH Thyrotropin (Protirelin) 20mg

TRH Thyrotropin (Protirelin) 20mg is a synthetic form of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), which plays a crucial role in regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. It stimulates the secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the anterior pituitary gland, which in turn stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones (T3 and T4).

Reconstitution: Add an appropriate amount of sterile diluent (e.g., saline or bacteriostatic water) as per clinical guidelines to the vial containing TRH powder.

Gentle Mixing: Swirl the vial gently until the powder is completely dissolved.

Benefits:
Diagnosis of Thyroid Disorders: TRH is primarily used in diagnostic testing to assess the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. It helps differentiate between primary and secondary causes of hypothyroidism by measuring TSH response .

Potential Treatment for Hypothyroidism: While not a first-line treatment, there is some interest in TRH for managing certain cases of hypothyroidism, particularly when TSH levels are low .

Mood and Cognitive Function: Some studies have suggested that TRH may have effects on mood and cognitive function, as it can influence neurotransmitter release .

Storage: Store the reconstituted solution according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically in a refrigerator, and use it within a specific timeframe to ensure potency.
