Eligard 45 mg Injection 1's 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.
Eligard 45 mg Injection 1's 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.
