AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
Lupron Depot (leuprolide acetate) is a GnRH agonist injectable that suppresses gonadotropin secretion, leading to inhibition of ovarian and testicular steroidogenesis. It is used to treat hormone-dependent cancers (prostate, breast) and other conditions requiring gonadal hormone suppression. The drug works through an initial stimulation phase followed by sustained suppression of sex hormone production, which is reversible upon discontinuation.
