What are Generics? A generic
drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality,
how it is taken, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available
on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients
as the brand-name and works the same way in the body in the same amount of time.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is the generics
are less expensive and may look slightly different (e.g. different shape or color),
as trademark laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large
sums of money to invent a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies
can manufacture a copy of the brand-name drug and sell it at substantial discounts.
Lupron Depot Description
Lupron Depot is a prescription only medication that is administered via an injection. It contains a drug called Leuprolide, which blocks the actions of Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in the brain. This leads to decreased levels of certain reproductive hormones in your body, such as estrogen and testosterone.
This medication is used to treat medical conditions that are responsive to the hormone estrogen, such as endometriosis, prostate cancer and breast cancer. This medication will reduce the circulating levels of estrogen and improve these conditions.
Lupron or Leuprolide Depot may be prescribed for other medical conditions, as determined by your doctor.
Lupron Depot Directions
This medicine is administered as an injection at your doctor’s office.
Please read the medication leaflet provided by your doctor, and ask you nurse or doctor any questions you may have.
Store this medicine as directed by the prescription label.
