Lupride Depot 22.5mg Injection

It is indicated for the treatment of prostate cancer in men, hormone-responsive breast cancer, endometriosis (a condition in which tissue that normally lines the interior of the uterus grows outside of it), and uterine fibroids (noncancerous growths of the uterus) in women. Lupride Depot 22.5mg is also used to treat premature puberty, which is characterised by early physical development in children due to hormonal imbalances.

Do not use this injection if you are allergic to leuprolide or any of its ingredients, including goserelin and triptorelin.

Do not use this treatment if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. During treatment, existing symptoms may worsen due to increased sex steroids in the body; discuss any concerns with your doctor. Inform your doctor if your child has a progressive brain tumour.
