What Is Eligard?

Eligard (leuprolide) is a prescription medicine used to treat the symptoms of Advanced prostrate cancer, endometriosis, and fibroids. Eligard can be used alone or with other medicines. Eligard is for use by males, other brands of leuprolide are used for women.

You take Eligard by injecting it under your skin (subcutaneous injection) or into a muscle once a month or once every 3 to 6 months. Your doctor or another medical professional will show you how to do this. Your prescribing doctor will tell you how much Eligard to use and how often.

Different brands and strengths of leuprolide are used for different conditions. It is very important that you receive exactly the brand and strength your doctor has prescribed. Always check to make sure your medication is the correct brand and type prescribed by your doctor.

Eligard active ingredients

The active ingredient in Eligard is called leuprolide. Eligard is part of a class of drugs called gonadotropin releasing hormone, GnRH Agonists.

Eligard works by over-stimulating your body’s own production of certain hormones, this then causes production of those particular hormones to shut down temporarily. The effect of leuprolide is reversed once you stop taking it. Leuprolide works by reducing the amount of testosterone in men and estrogen in women.
