SALT INFORMATION
Leuprorelin(3.75 Mg)
Uses
Leuprorelin is used in the treatment of advanced and/or metastatic prostate cancer. It is also used to treat central precocious puberty (condition causing children to enter puberty too soon resulting in faster than normal bone growth and development of sexual characteristics), endometriosis (a condition in which the endometrium lining the uterus grows excessively and causes pain, heavy or irregular [periods], and other symptoms), treat anemia (lower than normal red blood cells count) due to uterine fibroids (noncancerous growth in the uterus). Leuprorelin may be used for infertility, breast cancer and before intra-uterine surgery.
How it works
Leuprorelin belongs to a class of medicines called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. These medicines reduce the effect of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone receptors, thereby reducing the release of gonadotrophin hormones (hormones that stimulate release of eggs, production of sperms and are important for reproduction and fertility) which in turn cause inhibition of androgen and estrogen production.
Common side effects
Changes in body weight, Muscle and joint pain, Dryness, Vaginal discharge, Changes in mood, Change in sex drive, Feeling nervous, Allergic reaction e.g. itching, Acne, Feeling tired, Cns depression, Redness at injection site, Hot flashes, Change in menstrual cycle, Flu like symptoms
