LEUPOLIEVA DEPOT 3.75 MG (Leuprolide Acetate Depot for Injection 3.75 mg) is a prescription hormonal medicine containing Leuprolide Acetate 3.75 mg in a long-acting depot formulation. Leuprolide belongs to the Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) Agonist class and is used to suppress the production of sex hormones.
When administered continuously, Leuprolide initially stimulates the pituitary gland and subsequently reduces the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This results in a significant reduction in testosterone production in males and estrogen production in females.
LEUPOLIEVA DEPOT 3.75 MG may be used in the management of advanced prostate cancer, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and other approved hormone-dependent conditions, depending on the patient's clinical condition and the prescribing information applicable to the product.
The depot formulation is designed to provide sustained release of Leuprolide Acetate, helping maintain hormonal suppression over the prescribed treatment interval.
The injection should be prepared and administered by a qualified healthcare professional.
LEUPOLIEVA DEPOT 3.75 MG is commonly used for:

LEUPOLIEVA DEPOT 3.75 MG is used for conditions where suppression of sex hormone production provides therapeutic benefit.

Leuprolide can reduce estrogen stimulation and help manage pain and other symptoms associated with endometriosis.
It may be prescribed in selected patients to temporarily reduce estrogen levels and help decrease the size of uterine fibroids.
The medicine may be used when temporary suppression of gonadal hormone production is clinically required.
For prostate cancer, Leuprolide may be used alongside other medicines as determined by the treating oncologist.
Leuprolide belongs to the GnRH Agonist class.
