LEUPRO-SANDOZ 3-MONTH-DEPOT 1 SYRINGE

Leuprorelin (leuprolide acetate) is a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue used to treat a wide range of sex hormone-related disorders including advanced prostatic cancer endometriosis and precocious puberty. It acts primarily on the anterior pituitary inducing a transient early rise in gonadotrophin release. With continued use leuprorelin causes pituitary desensitisation and/or down-regulation leading to suppressed circulating levels of gonadotrophins and sex hormones.
