Trelstar is a form of hormone therapy that is given for the treatment of prostate cancer. It is a depot injection that is given every 3 months and needs to be repeated till it stops having any effect. The effect is monitored by measuring serum PSA which should be normal. There is no use of giving the injection earlier than the 3 months.
