1.
WHAT GHRYVELIN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The medicine contains an active substance called macimorelin.
Macimorelin acts like a natural hormone and causes the pituitary gland
to release growth
hormone into the blood stream.
GHRYVE
LIN is used in adults to test the body´s ability to produce growth
hormone. It is used when your doctor thinks that you may not have
enough growth
hormone (adult growth hormone deficiency). This is not a treatment for
patients who do not have enough growth hormone. It is a test that
helps your doctor to
diagnose this condition.

_Discontinuation of therapy with growth hormone (GH) or medicinal
products directly affecting the pituitary secretion of somatotropin _
Patients on replacement therapy with growth hormone (GH, somatotropin)
or on medicinal products directly affecting the pituitary secretion of
somatotropin
(e.g. somatostatin analogues, clonidine, levopoda and dopamine
agonists) should be advised to discontinue such treatment at least 1
month before receiving
macimorelin. These substances could lead to unreliable GH stimulation
