Recently we have faced the discontinuance of several drugs that we use for endocrine challenge testing. Specifically these are:
L-DOPA (Larodopa) for growth hormone stimulation screening
LHRH (Factrel)
and Pentagastrin (Pentavalon) for Calcitonin stimulation
I would appreciate any information on alternative sources.
