Leuprolide Acetate for Injection

What is Leuprolide Acetate for Injection?
Leuprolide Acetate for Injection is a synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist used in oncology, gynecology, and pediatrics. By reducing sex hormone levels (testosterone in men and estrogen in women), it helps control hormone-dependent conditions such as prostate cancer, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and central precocious puberty (CPP). It is administered as an intramuscular or subcutaneous depot injection, providing sustained hormone suppression.
 
Uses of Leuprolide Acetate for Injection
Treatment of advanced prostate cancer
Management of endometriosis
Control of uterine fibroids prior to surgery or therapy
Treatment of central precocious puberty (CPP) in children
Supportive use in hormone-sensitive cancers
 
How Does Leuprolide Acetate for Injection Work?
Leuprolide is a GnRH agonist that initially increases but then suppresses pituitary release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This results in reduced testosterone levels in men and estrogen levels in women, thereby inhibiting the growth of hormone-dependent tumors and reducing symptoms of gynecological disorders.
 
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is Leuprolide Acetate for Injection used for?
A: Leuprolide Acetate for Injection is a synthetic GnRH agonist used for hormonal therapy. It is primarily indicated for the palliative treatment of advanced prostate cancer. It is also used in gynecology to treat endometriosis and uterine fibroids, and in pediatrics for the treatment of central precocious puberty (CPP).
Q: Who is a top manufacturer of Leuprolide Acetate Injection in India?
A: Farbe Firma Pvt. Ltd. is a leading manufacturer and supplier of Leuprolide Acetate for Injection (Trade Name: Leuprosyl).

It is supplied as a lyophilized powder in vials, accompanied by a sterile diluent for reconstitution before depot injection.
Q: How does Leuprolide Acetate work?
A: Leuprolide works by desensitizing the pituitary gland's GnRH receptors. Initially, it causes a brief surge in hormones, but with continued use, it signals the pituitary to stop producing Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH). This leads to a significant drop in testosterone in men and estrogen in women, effectively starving hormone-dependent tumors or tissues.
Q: Do you offer Contract Manufacturing for Leuprolide Depot Injection?
A: Yes, Farbe Firma Pvt. Ltd. offers specialized Contract Manufacturing (CMO) services for complex depot injectables. We utilize advanced microsphere or lyophilization technologies to ensure precise release characteristics and provide full regulatory dossier support (CTD/ACTD) for global market entry.
