The puberty-suppressing hormones that have been banned under new legislation are called gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues or GnRH analogues. This guide is for you if you want to know more about puberty-suppressing hormones - specifically, GnRH analogues. That includes if you or a friend, family member, or someone you care about are affected by the current ban or have questions about them. The guide draws on currently available evidence about using puberty-suppressing hormones.
