Uses
USES: This product contains 2 medications: leuprolide and norethindrone. Leuprolide is used to treat pain due to a certain uterus disorder (endometriosis). It works by shrinking the abnormal uterine tissue that causes the pain. Uterine tissue needs the female hormone estrogen to grow and spread. Leuprolide helps to decrease the amount of estrogen that is made in the body. Norethindrone helps to decrease the bone thinning effect of leuprolide. Norethindrone is a type of female hormone (progestin). It is like the hormone progesterone that your body makes naturally.
How to use LEUPROLIDE 11.25 MG SYRINGE/NORETHINDRONE TABLET - KIT
HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using this kit and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Leuprolide is given by injection into a muscle (intramuscularly) by a health care professional. It is given as directed by your doctor, usually once every 3 months. Leuprolide is slowly released into your blood over a 3-month period. Take norethindrone by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually once daily with or without food. These medications are used together for up to 6 months of treatment. Use these medications regularly to get the most benefit from them. To help you remember, take norethindrone at the same time each day. Mark your calendar to keep track of when to receive the next dose of leuprolide. During the first few weeks of treatment, your hormone levels will actually increase before they decrease. This is a normal response by your body to leuprolide. This may cause a temporary worsening of your symptoms for a few weeks. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens. It may take at least 3 months to see an improvement in symptoms.
