Leuprolide

Leuprolide is a medication that acts on the body's hormone system, specifically affecting the production of sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen. It works by initially increasing these hormones but then gradually decreasing their levels, which helps treat conditions such as prostate cancer, endometriosis, and certain types of breast cancer. Leuprolide is often given by injection and is used under medical supervision to control hormone-related diseases. It alters hormone production to slow or stop disease progression, improving symptoms and outcomes.
