Key Benefits
Lupride Injection 0.5 ml contains Leuprolide, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist. It treats prostate cancer in men, endometriosis in women and precocious puberty (early puberty) in children. Lupride Injection 0.5 ml is a synthetic hormone that acts similar to the GnRH, produced by the hypothalamus gland in the brain. Being an anti-neoplastic or anticancer agent, Lupride Injection 0.5 ml works by lowering testosterone levels in men that help stop the growth of cancer cells in prostate cancer. Lupride Injection 0.5 ml reduces oestrogen (a hormone required for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics) levels in women, thus helps in shrinking of endometriosis and breast cancer.
