• By lowering the levels of these specific hormones, LUPROHAL 22.5 INJECTION plays a crucial role in several medical scenarios. For hormone-sensitive cancers, such as prostate cancer in men or certain types of breast cancer in women, reducing the hormones that fuel their growth helps to slow the progression of the disease and manage symptoms. In gynaecological conditions like uterine fibroids and endometriosis, which are often dependent on estrogen for their development and symptoms, this injection helps by shrinking the fibroids and relieving pain and discomfort associated with endometriosis. Furthermore, in cases of precocious puberty, where a child enters puberty too early, suppressing sex hormones can pause or reverse the process, allowing for more normal growth and development. This single injection provides a sustained release of the active medication, offering long-term hormonal control for the duration it is prescribed, typically several months at a time depending on the specific 22.5mg formulation.

• LUPROHAL 22.5 INJECTION is a medication typically given as an injection into the muscle or under the skin. Common areas for this injection include the upper arm, thigh, or abdomen. A healthcare professional, such as a doctor or nurse, will always administer LUPROHAL 22.5 INJECTION. It is crucial that you do not attempt to inject this medication yourself. Your doctor will determine the correct dose for you and how often you need to receive the injection. This is carefully decided based on your specific medical condition and individual needs, as treatment plans vary from person to person. Following your doctor's prescribed schedule and dosage is very important for the effectiveness of the treatment. If you have any questions about where or how the injection is given, or about your specific treatment plan, please speak to your healthcare provider.
