Lupron (Leuprolide)

Lupron (Leuprolide) is a medication that reduces hormone levels, specifically testosterone and estrogen. It works by signaling the body to decrease the production of these hormones, which can help treat conditions like prostate cancer, endometriosis, and early puberty. Administered via injections, Lupron’s effects develop over time, and it’s often used in long-term hormonal therapy. While effective, it may cause side effects such as hot flashes, decreased libido, or bone thinning. Overall, Lupron helps manage hormone-related conditions by controlling hormone levels to slow disease progression or alleviate symptoms.
