Leuprodel 22.5mg Injection

Leuprodel 22.5mg Injection contains the active ingredient Leuprolide acetate, a Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) agonist. It is indicated for prostate cancer in men, hormone-responsive breast cancer, endometriosis (tissue normally lining the interior of the uterus growing outside it), and uterine fibroids (noncancerous growths of the uterus) in women. The medicine is also used to treat central precocious puberty, a condition in which certain hormonal changes cause a child's body to develop into an adult prematurely.

Do not use this injection if you are allergic to Leuprolide acetate or any other ingredients, including Goserelin and Triptorelin. Before receiving this medicine, inform your physician if you have liver or kidney impairment or undiagnosed abnormal uterine bleeding. Do not use this treatment if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

During treatment, existing symptoms may temporarily worsen due to increased sex steroid levels in the body. Consult your physician regarding any concerns. Inform your doctor if your child has a progressive brain tumour.

Before starting treatment, notify your doctor of underlying medical conditions including diabetes, seizures, heart problems with chest pain, irregular heartbeats, depression, or increased risk of bone thinning (osteoporosis). This medicine is not recommended in pregnant or breastfeeding women or in patients with abnormal vaginal bleeding.

Women of childbearing age should use non-hormonal contraceptives whilst taking Leuprodel 22.5mg Injection. Inform your doctor if you are a man with urinary obstruction or have had testicle removal surgery. Report any experience of spinal cord pressure, urinary disorders, or haematuria (blood in the urine) to your physician.
