Your doctor may inject this medicine for you or instruct you how to self-inject it at home. If you don’t fully understand the instructions for self-injection, talk to your doctor. Inject leuprolide under your skin on a schedule that your doctor will determine based on your condition.

It’s important not to miss any doses. If you do miss an injection, call your doctor to find out what to do.

Seek emergency medical attention right away if you or someone in your home overdoses on the leuprolide drug.

Before using leuprolide, tell your doctor if:

The changes in hormone levels from leuprolide may lead to certain side effects, including breakthrough menstrual bleeding, vaginal itching, weight gains, problems with urination, hot flashes, acne, rash, or decreased testicle size. Other possible side effects include mild injection site irritation, stomach discomfort, joint pain, headache, or flu-like symptoms. Call your doctor immediately if you experience bone pain, painful urination, a slow heart rate, weak pulse, vomiting, confusion, sudden chest pain, wheezing, dry cough, or pain, burning, or stinging at the injection site. Get emergency medical attention if you have signs of a heart attack or stroke.

Check the leuprolide product packaging for storage instructions. Don’t allow this medication to freeze. After using a disposable needle, throw it away in a puncture-proof container (ask your doctor where you can get one). Don’t leave your medication anywhere that children could reach.

Warnings

Leuprolide can pass into your body fluids, so don’t let any of these fluids come into contact with your hands or any surfaces for at least 48 hours after an injection. Make sure the prescription you receive at the pharmacy matches the prescription your doctor has written; certain brands and strengths of leuprolide are only intended to treat men.
