Lucrin 3.75mg Injection

Lucrin 3.75mg Injection contains Leuprorelin 3.75mg, a GnRH agonist hormone-suppressing injection. Made by Abbott Laboratories (pakistan) Ltd, it is prescribed for prostate cancer, endometriosis, fibroids and early puberty. Pack size: 1s injection.

Uses of Lucrin 3.75mg Injection

Lucrin 3.75mg Injection is a long-acting injection used to lower sex hormone levels. It is used to treat hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, endometriosis and uterine fibroids, where it can shrink fibroids before surgery. It is also used to treat early (precocious) puberty in children. It is given by a healthcare professional.

How Lucrin 3.75mg Injection works

Leuprorelin is a man-made version of a brain hormone called GnRH. After a brief initial rise, its continuous presence switches off the pituitary gland’s signals to the testes or ovaries, so testosterone or oestrogen levels fall. This slows hormone-driven cancers and shrinks hormone-sensitive tissue.

Possible side effects

Most side effects of Lucrin 3.75mg Injection come from the lowered hormone levels. They include:

• Hot flushes and sweating
• Reduced sex drive or erection problems
• Tiredness
• Mood changes
• Headache
• Pain or redness at the injection site

Seek urgent medical help if you develop worsening bone pain, difficulty passing urine, weakness or numbness in the legs, chest pain or palpitations.

Precautions and warnings

• In prostate cancer, symptoms can briefly worsen in the first weeks, so your doctor may prescribe another medicine to cover this period.
• Long-term use can thin the bones; your doctor may advise calcium, vitamin D and bone checks.
• Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, heart rhythm problems, diabetes or depression.
• It must not be used in pregnancy; women should use non-hormonal contraception during treatment.
• Tell your doctor about all other medicines you take, particularly those that affect heart rhythm.
