Benefits
In the treatment of endometriosis: Endometriosis is a condition where tissue such as the lining of the uterus starts to grow in other places. The main symptoms are pain in the lower abdomen or back, period pain, pain during and after sex, constipation, diarrhoea and nausea. It can also make it difficult to get pregnant. Benefits of Luprodex Depot 11.25 mg Injection works by stopping the lining of your womb and any endometriosis tissue from growing too quickly. This will help to relieve any symptoms you may have. This medicine must be taken regularly to be effective and you may also need other medicines or procedures to help control your endometriosis. Treating uterine fibroids: Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years. Luprodex Depot 11.25 mg can help control the symptoms associated with uterine fibroids, such as excessive menstrual bleeding and lower back pain, and also reduce the size of existing fibroids. It works by blocking the action of the enzyme responsible for fibroid growth. As a result, they shrink and stop growing. In the treatment of advanced prostate cancer: The prostate is a small gland about the size of a walnut that produces a fluid called seminal fluid that nourishes and carries sperm in men. The most common symptom of prostate cancer is difficulty urinating, but sometimes there are no symptoms at all. Luprodex Depot 11.25 mg Injection can reduce or stop the growth of cancer cells by reducing the amount of testosterone (a natural hormone in men) in men. This will also relieve urinary problems and make it easier to pass urine. To treat precocious puberty (early puberty): When puberty (the change of a child's body to adult structure and size) begins before the age of 8 in girls and before the age of 9 in boys, it is called precocious puberty. Luprodex Depot 11.25 mg helps delay this early onset of adulthood and limits the onset of precocious puberty.
