Leuprolide Acetate for Injection (Depot 3.75 mg)
Product Overview
Leuprolide Acetate for Injection (Depot 3.75 mg) is a long-acting injectable medication belonging to the class of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. It is used to regulate hormone production in the body and is prescribed in conditions where suppression of sex hormones is required. The depot formulation provides sustained release of the active ingredient over time. This medicine is used under medical supervision.
Mechanism of Action
Leuprolide Acetate for Injection (Depot 3.75 mg) acts on the pituitary gland, which regulates reproductive hormone production. Initial administration is associated with increased release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). With continued use, GnRH receptors become downregulated, leading to reduced production of sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. These effects are associated with hormone-related conditions.
Indications and Uses
Leuprolide Acetate for Injection (Depot 3.75 mg) is indicated for:
- Management of advanced prostate cancer

- Preoperative management of uterine fibroids
- Management of central precocious puberty
The indication, dosage, and duration of treatment are determined by a healthcare professional.
