Leuprolide is a man-made form of a hormone that regulates many processes in the body.
Leuprolide overstimulates the body's own production of certain hormones, which causes that
production to shut down temporarily. Leuprolide reduces the amount of testosterone in men or
estrogen in women.
Leuprolide is used
in men
to treat the symptoms of prostate cancer.
Leuprolide treats only the symptoms of prostate cancer and does not treat the cancer itself. Use any
other medications your doctor has prescribed to best treat your condition.Leuprolide is used
in women
to treat symptoms of endometriosis (overgrowth
of uterine lining outside of the uterus) or uterine fibroids.Leuprolide is also used to treat precocious (early-onset) puberty in both male and female
children.
Leuprolide may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
