Overview
Zoladex Depot 10.8mg (1 implant) from AstraZeneca contains goserelin, a hormone treatment given as a small implant under the skin, in a longer-acting three-monthly form. Goserelin lowers the body's production of sex hormones (testosterone in men, oestrogen in women), which is useful in hormone-driven conditions. The 10.8mg depot is used mainly in prostate cancer and hormone-sensitive breast cancer, and in some cases of endometriosis. By switching down hormone levels over about 12 weeks per implant, it helps control these conditions while reducing the number of injections needed. A specialist-prescribed treatment used under close medical supervision .
Active: Goserelin 10.8mg (as acetate) per depot implant.
