Description

LeoGard 11.25 mg (Leuprorelin Acetate Injection) contains Leuprorelin Acetate, a synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist designed for long-acting hormonal therapy for cancer. It is widely prescribed in oncology and gynecology for managing hormone-sensitive conditions by suppressing testosterone and estrogen production.

🔬 How LeoGard 11.25 mg Works

Leuprorelin initially stimulates and then suppresses the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), resulting in decreased testosterone in men and estrogen in women. This hormonal suppression helps slow the progression of hormone-dependent diseases.
