Leulide Depot 3.75 mg Injection 1's

Leulide Depot 3.75 mg Injection 1's is prescribed to help manage hormone-sensitive conditions by reducing the production of certain hormones in the body. It may be used for:

• Prostate Cancer: Helps slow or stop the growth of cancer cells by lowering testosterone levels in the body.
• Endometriosis: Lowers estrogen levels to shrink abnormal uterine tissue growing outside the uterus, reducing pelvic pain and painful periods.
• Uterine Fibroids: Shrinks non-cancerous growths in the uterus to help control heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pressure, often before a planned surgery.
• Early Puberty (Central Precocious Puberty): Delays the onset of puberty in young children by temporarily pausing the release of sex hormones, allowing for normal physical development.

Leulide Depot 3.75 mg Injection 1's is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist that reduces the production of sex hormones. Depending on the condition being treated, it helps manage hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or central precocious puberty.

• Helps Manage Advanced Prostate Cancer: Lowers testosterone levels, which may slow the growth and progression of hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.
• Relieves Endometriosis Symptoms: Reduces oestrogen levels, helping relieve pelvic pain and other symptoms associated with endometriosis.
• Helps Manage Uterine Fibroids: May reduce heavy menstrual bleeding and temporarily shrink fibroids, improving symptoms and supporting pre-operative management when prescribed for this purpose.
• Controls Early Puberty: In children with central precocious puberty, it suppresses premature sex hormone production, helping delay further pubertal development until a more appropriate age.
• Improves Daily Comfort: By controlling hormone-related symptoms, it may help reduce pain, improve physical comfort, and support a better quality of life.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
• Leulide Depot 3.75 mg Injection 1's will be administered by the doctor or healthcare professional.
• Do not self-administer.

• Boost Calcium and Vitamin D: Since this medicine can lower bone mineral density, eat calcium-rich foods like leafy greens, dairy, or fortified plant milks, and talk to your doctor about vitamin D supplements.
• Engage in Weight-Bearing Exercise: Activities like walking, jogging, or light strength training help keep your bones strong and reduce the risk of bone loss during treatment.
• Manage Hot Flashes: Wear layered, breathable clothing made of natural fibres, and avoid triggers like spicy foods, caffeine, and hot drinks.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help manage dry skin and support overall kidney health.

• Inspect the Medicine Before Use: Before administration, the healthcare professional should check the prepared injection and avoid using it if there is unexpected discolouration, cloudiness, or visible particles.
• Rotate Injection Sites: If repeated injections are required, rotate the injection site as recommended to help reduce local irritation or skin changes.
• Use a New Needle Each Time: Never reuse needles or syringes. Always use sterile, single-use injection equipment and dispose of it safely after use.
• Monitor Blood Sugar if Needed: If you have diabetes or are at risk of high blood sugar, your doctor may recommend regular monitoring during treatment.
• Attend Regular Follow-Ups: Keep all scheduled appointments and complete recommended blood tests and bone health assessments so your doctor can monitor your response to treatment and overall health.
