One implant provides 1 year of continuous hormone medicine, histrelin acetate. This treats your child's central precocious puberty (CPP) for a full year after the first month of therapy.
Your child must have regular visits with his or her pediatric endocrinologist. Your child may need blood tests a month after the procedure and every 6 months after that. A healthcare professional will also check for signs of puberty, measure height, and may take wrist X-rays to track bone growth.
