The pharmaceutical properties and the route of administration of triptorelin make accidental or intentional overdose unlikely. Moreover, there is no experience of overdosage in clinical trials. Aside from the effect of higher doses of triptorelin on sex hormone concentration and on the reproductive tract, animal data do not predict any other effects of triptorelin overdosage. If overdosage occurs, therapy should be discontinued immediately and the appropriate supportive and symptomatic treatment should be administered.
