Leuprolide Acetate for Injection
Leuprolide acetate is a medication used for several purposes. Let’s explore more about it:
Uses:
Prostate Cancer: Leuprolide injection (Eligard, Lupron Depot) is used to treat the symptoms associated with advanced prostate cancer.
Central Precocious Puberty (CPP): Leuprolide injection (Lupron Depot-PED, Fensolvi) is used in children 2 years of age or older to treat central precocious puberty (a condition causing girls [usually younger than 8 years of age] and boys [usually younger than 9 years of age] to enter puberty too soon, resulting in faster than normal bone growth and development of sexual characteristics).
Endometriosis: Leuprolide injection (Lupron Depot) is used alone or with another medication (norethindrone) to treat endometriosis (a condition in which the type of tissue that lines the uterus [womb] grows in other areas of the body and causes pain, heavy or irregular menstruation [periods], and other symptoms).
Uterine Fibroids: Leuprolide injection (Lupron Depot) is also used with other medication to treat anemia (a lower than normal number of red blood cells) caused by uterine fibroids (noncancerous growths in the uterus).
