Lupron Depot (1-month)

Drug Details

Leuprolide is used to treat certain disorders (such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids). For the treatment of uterine fibroids, leuprolide is usually given with iron to help improve anemia that is caused by too much vaginal bleeding. Leuprolide helps to reduce symptoms such as pelvic pain, painful/heavy menstrual periods, and abdominal bloating. It works by shrinking the abnormal tissue that causes these symptoms. The abnormal tissue needs the hormone estrogen to grow and spread. Leuprolide helps to decrease the amount of estrogen that is made in the body.
