Description
Luprova 11.25mg Injection is a medication used in the treatment of hormone-sensitive cancers, primarily prostate cancer and endometriosis. Its active ingredient is Leuprolide Acetate, a synthetic analog of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Luprova works by initially stimulating the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which can lead to a temporary increase in testosterone or estrogen levels. However, with continuous administration, it suppresses the pituitary gland’s production of these hormones, leading to a significant reduction in testosterone levels in men and estrogen levels in women. This hormonal suppression is crucial in managing conditions driven by these sex hormones. For prostate cancer, it helps to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. In endometriosis, it reduces the size of endometrial implants and alleviates associated pain and bleeding. The dosage and administration of Luprova 11.25mg Injection should strictly follow the physician’s prescription. Common side effects may include hot flashes, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, and injection site reactions. Less common but serious side effects can occur. Patients should store Luprova 11.25mg Injection at room temperature, away from light and moisture, and out of reach of children.
