Overview
Lupride Depot 3.75mg is a long-acting injectable containing leuprolide (leuprorelin) acetate, a GnRH agonist that temporarily switches off the body's production of sex hormones. Given as a monthly depot injection by a healthcare professional, it is used to treat hormone-responsive conditions including uterine fibroids and endometriosis in women, advanced prostate cancer in men, and central precocious (early) puberty in children. By lowering oestrogen or testosterone, Lupride shrinks fibroids, relieves endometriosis pain and slows hormone-driven cancers. This medicine is administered under specialist medical supervision only.
Leuprolide (leuprorelin) acetate 3.75mg depot powder and solvent for injection (single-dose, monthly).
Directions for Use
This is a prescription medicine administered under specialist supervision. Lupride Depot 3.75mg is given as a single intramuscular or subcutaneous injection once every month (every 28-30 days) by a doctor or trained nurse. It is not for self-administration. The number of monthly injections depends on the condition being treated and is determined by your specialist. Keep every scheduled appointment, as the treatment's effect depends on uninterrupted monthly dosing.
Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Ensure pregnancy is excluded before starting; non-hormonal contraception is advised during treatment. Expect menopause-like effects in women (hot flushes, mood changes, vaginal dryness) and reduced libido in men; symptoms may briefly flare in the first weeks before improving. Long courses can reduce bone density. Your specialist will limit duration and may monitor bone health. Diabetic patients may need closer glucose monitoring. Report severe headaches, vision changes or depression promptly. Store as directed on the packaging; do not freeze.

Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any new medication or supplement. Keep all medicines out of reach of children.
