Decapeptyl (Triptorelin) is usually administered as an injection by a physician or other health care professional, and is normally injected into the buttocks. This medication should not be self-injected by patients, as they may not be familiar with the injection procedures or how to dispose of syringes. Patients should always consult their physician before using this medication in order to determine the correct dosage and the frequency at which it should be administered.
Side effects which may occur as a result of using Decapeptyl (Triptorelin) include:
- Hot flushes

If any of these side effects persist or worsen, you should consult your physician immediately.
Decapeptyl (Triptorelin) is only used to aid conception and should not be taken by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
