What is Lupron Depot?

Lupron Depot contains the prescription medicine leuprolide, classed as a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist. It works by reducing the amount of certain hormones in the body, testosterone in men and estrogen in women.

Lupron Depot is used for the treatment of:

• Endometriosis – on its own to reduce endometriotic lesions and manage pain relief, or with norethindrone acetate, firstly to manage the symptoms of pain from endometriosis, and then to manage the reappearance of symptoms. Using norethindrone acetate with Lupron Depot helps to reduce certain side effects linked with Lupron Depot use, such as the loss of bone mineral density as well as night sweats and hot flushes.
• Fibroids – used in combination with iron prior to operating to reduce anemia caused by fibroids. Lupron Depot can be added where treatment with iron alone has not been enough.

Lupron Depot is injected under the skin or into a muscle. It is used once every month or once every 3 to 6 months. It is important to note that different brands and strengths of leuprolide are used for the treatment of different conditions. You must receive the correct brand and strength prescribed by your doctor for your condition.

Lupron Depot active ingredients

Leuprolide acetate is a long-acting GnRH agonist. Using Lupron Depot initially stimulates pituitary gonadotrophins, but then leads to a longer period of suppression. Pituitary gonadotropins normally stimulate the production of steroid hormones, but using Lupron Depot regularly reduces the secretion of these gonadal steroids, causing tissues and functions dependant on the gonadal steroids to become inactive. Gonadal steroids (sex steroid hormones) are estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. These normally stimulate the reproductive organs, and secondary sex characteristics in males and females.

The effects of Lupron Depot are reversed once treatment is stopped.
