Introduction
Luprova 22.5mg injection:

Luprova 22.5 Injection belongs to the class of 'anticancer or
anti-neoplastic agents', primarily used to treat prostate cancer in men, breast
cancer and endometriosis in women and precocious puberty (early puberty) in
children. Prostate cancer is the prostate gland's cancer (a small gland under
the bladder secretes fluid that nourishes and protects sperm) found only in
men. Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells stimulated
by a female sex hormone called oestrogen. Endometriosis is a disorder in which
tissue lining the uterus grows outside the uterine cavity. Precocious puberty
occurs when a child's body changes into that of an adult or experiences puberty
too soon.

Luprova 22.5 Injection contains Leuprolide that belongs to the class of
gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. It is a synthetic hormone that
acts similar to the GnRH, produced by the hypothalamus gland in the brain. It
works by inhibiting the synthesis of the natural male hormone, testosterone in
men and oestrogen in women. This process of lowering hormone levels can
decrease cancer cell's growth in prostate cancer in men and shrinks
endometriosis and breast cancer in women.
