Answer:

decreases the secretion of substances from the pituitary gland that cause growth

Step-by-step explanation:

Gigantism is a disorder that occurs when the pituitary gland, the internal secretion gland, overproduces growth hormone. It is a disordered growth picture, especially in the arms and legs, and is accompanied by corresponding growth in height. For this reason, we can conclude that the effect of a drug that will act against gigantism will decrease the secretion of growth-causing pituitary substances.
