Product Introduction
Lupride Depot 3.75mg Injection is used in the treatment of prostate cancer, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and central precocious puberty (very early onset of puberty).
It is administered as an injection under the skin by a qualified healthcare professional. The dose and frequency will be determined by your doctor based on your condition. Benefits may take several weeks or months to appear, and it is important not to stop treatment unless advised by your doctor. Incorrect use or overdose can cause serious side effects.
Common side effects include decreased libido, increased sweating, fatigue, muscle weakness, and hot flashes. Long-term use may reduce bone mineral density, so vitamin D and calcium supplementation is recommended. In women, periods may stop temporarily (7–12 weeks); inform your doctor if bleeding persists.
Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor about your alcohol use, smoking habits, and any history of osteoporosis. Share details of all other medications you are taking. This medicine is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Effective contraception is important for both males and females during treatment.
