Description
Luprodex Depot 3.75 mg – Leuprolide Injection Hormone Therapy
Product Description
Leuprolide injection hormone therapy, such as Luprodex Depot 3.75 mg, is used to help manage conditions influenced by hormone levels. It contains leuprolide acetate, a synthetic analogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). When administered as a depot injection, it provides a gradual release of medication over time. As a result, it helps regulate hormone production in both men and women under medical supervision.
How Luprodex Depot Works
This treatment initially stimulates hormone release; however, with continued use, it reduces the production of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Consequently, testosterone levels in men and estrogen levels in women decrease. This controlled suppression supports the management of hormone-sensitive conditions.
