GlossaryLeuprolide (Leuprolide acetate)

medication that reduces hormone levels to treat certain conditions

Leuprolide, also known as Lupron, is a medication that acts as a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist. It is commonly used to treat hormone-sensitive conditions such as prostate cancer, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids by reducing the production of certain hormones like testosterone and estrogen. This reduction can help manage symptoms and slow the progression of these conditions.
