Product Introduction
Tescilar 22.5mg Injection contains the active ingredient Leuprolide acetate. It is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist. Tescilar 22.5mg Injection is used to treat prostate cancer in men, hormone-responsive breast cancer, endometriosis (tissue that normally lines the interior of the uterus grows outside of it) and uterine fibroids (noncancerous growths of the uterus) in women. This medicine is also used to treat premature puberty (central precocious puberty); due to certain hormonal releases, a child's body begins to change into an adult at an early age. Do not take this if you are allergic to Leuprolide acetate or any other ingredients, including Goserelin and Triptorelin, of the medicine and products relating to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). During treatment, existing symptoms may worsen due to initial sex steroid increase in the body. This will subside after continual use of the medicine. Speak to your physician for further concerns. This medicine is not recommended in pregnant and breastfeeding women and patients with abnormal vaginal bleeding. It is not recommended if you experience abnormal vaginal bleeding. It is not recommended if you experience seizures or mood disorders. Men who experience urinary blockage or who have undergone testicular excision should inform their physician. Bone density measurement at regular intervals is advised. If you are a woman of childbearing age, use non-hormonal contraceptives while taking Tescilar 22.5mg Injection. Tell your doctor if you feel pressure on the spinal cord and experience urinary disorders and haematuria (blood in the urine). Inform your doctor about any underlying medical disorders you may have before beginning therapy, such as diabetes, seizures, heart problems including chest pain, irregular heartbeats, depression, or increased risk of osteoporosis (thinning of the bones).
