- Conditions and limitations
- Adult prostate-cancer depot label; other indications/products differ. These are distinct intramuscular depots, not a sequence or a generic under-the-skin starter. Do not copy to a daily leuprolide product.
- When to stop
- Use the exact product's clinical monitoring and stopping instructions. A supply interval is not a stop date; severe or persistent reactions need prompt clinical review.
