Prostate cancer is a common cancer in men that often depends on testosterone to grow. Lupride Depot 11.25mg Injection is used to lower testosterone levels, helping to slow or stop the growth of prostate cancer cells. It supports better disease control and improves outcomes when combined with other therapies.
2. Endometriosis
Endometriosis causes painful growth of uterine-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to chronic pelvic pain and fertility issues. Lupride Depot 11.25mg Injection helps by reducing estrogen levels, which shrinks the abnormal tissue and relieves symptoms. It improves comfort and quality of life for those affected.
3. Uterine fibroids
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding and pelvic discomfort. Lupride Depot 11.25mg Injection reduces the size of fibroids by lowering hormone levels, easing symptoms and making surgical treatments, if needed, more manageable.
