Eligard 30mg Injection

Eligard injection uses are:

• To treat prostate cancer
• Hormone-responsive breast cancer in perimenopausal (around menopause) women
• Endometriosis (a painful illness in which the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of your uterus)
• Central precocious puberty (a child’s body begins to change into an adult too soon caused by a release of certain hormones)

Eligard 30mg decreases testosterone or estrogen production, depending on the treated condition. This helps to slow the growth of cancer cells, reduce the size of uterine fibroids, and alleviate the symptoms of endometriosis and early onset of puberty.
