AbbottLupron Injection Information:
Lupron Injection is administered to men diagnosed with prostate cancer. The generic name of the drug is Leuprolide and it belongs to the category of Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. Leuprolide hinders the production of testosterone, a hormone that is responsible for prostate cancer. You can buy Lupron Injection in the form of a vial, which needs to be given to a patient subcutaneously. Sometimes, it can also be used by women who have endometriosis or uterine fibroids, or to treat precocious puberty in children. Lupron Injection can be used for reducing the amount of estrogen in women as well.
Description of Lupron Injection:
One Lupron Injection is mostly given to a patient once a day, but this ‘dose’ may differ depending on your medical condition and response to treatment. It can be used to delay sexual development in children, such as the growth of testicles or breasts and commencement of menstrual periods. It can also be used to slow down premature bone growth so that a child can reach his or her normal adult height with ease. As far as treating prostate cancer is concerned, Lupron Injection is only used to relieve the symptoms of the disease, but cannot treat the cancer itself. For that, you will be given other drugs and therapies along with Lupron Injection.
Advantages of Lupron Injection:
After using Lupron Injection, the symptoms of your prostate cancer will be relieved, which include pain while urinating, difficulty maintaining the stream of urine, difficulty having sex and orgasms, etc.
How Lupron Injection Works:
Lupron Injection works by reducing the production of testosterone in the body so that the growth of cancer cells is slowed down or stopped and the symptoms are relieved. The injection is given to a patient subcutaneously (under the skin) and should not be administered into the veins, muscles, or arteries.
Safety & Precautionary Information:
Lupron Injection should not be given to patients who are already suffering from other medical conditions, especially heart or kidney disease, migraine, epilepsy, asthma, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, blood in the urine, inability to urinate, or bone cancer affecting the spine. In such conditions, a doctor will need to conduct special tests and make necessary dosage adjustments before he or she recommends a patient to buy Lupron Injection. You should also inform your doctor if you have a history of depression, osteoporosis, or if you smoke or drink alcohol.
Lupron Injection may cause some women to miss their periods or stop ovulating. Other side effects associated with this drug include tiredness, dizziness, skin redness, hot flashes, testicle pain, depression, and insomnia. Most of these side effects are easily manageable and improve on their own within a few days. As this drug causes dizziness in some patients, you should not drive a vehicle, operate a machine, or do any such activity that requires complete alertness. Otherwise, it can result in some unwanted mishap.
