How Does Leuprolide 22.5 mg Work?

Leuprolide is a GnRH agonist. At first, it may briefly increase hormone levels, but with continuous use, it reduces signals from the brain that stimulate the testes or ovaries. This lowers testosterone in men and estrogen in women, helping control hormone-sensitive diseases.

Side Effects

  • Hot flashes or sweating
  • Injection site pain, redness, or swelling

  • Mood changes
  • Decreased sexual desire
  • Joint, muscle, or body pain
  • Nausea or digestive discomfort
  • Weight changes
  • Bone thinning with long-term use
  • Initial worsening of symptoms in some prostate cancer patients

Precautions

  • Use only under medical supervision
  • Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, diabetes, seizures, depression, or bone weakness
  • Regular blood tests and hormone monitoring may be needed
  • Inform the doctor about all medicines and supplements you take
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not use it unless clearly advised
  • Report severe mood changes, chest pain, breathing difficulty, severe headache, or allergic reactions immediately
  • Do not miss scheduled injections, as timing is important for hormone control
