The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently added a warning to the labeling of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists—also referred to by many as puberty blockers—saying the drugs may cause a series of symptoms in children that include headaches, pressure buildup around the brain, and vision loss.
The warning, announced by the agency on July 1, says there is a risk of pseudotumor cerebri in children who take GnRH agonists.
