Abstract

A method of treating an ovarian estrogen dependent condition such as endometriosis, uterine leiomyomata, PMS or DUB involving the administration of gonadotropin releasing hormone analog and the administration of antiprogestin, which will provide a therapeutic method for long term treatment without rapid loss of bone density, as occurs using GnRH analogs alone.
