Prostap SR DCS 3.75mg powder and solvent for suspension for injection 1 vial
Prostap is used to treat prostate cancer in men and endometriosis in women. Prostap SR injection contains the active ingredient leuprorelin acetate, which is a type of medicine known as a gonadorelin (LHRH) analogue. It acts on the pituitary gland in the brain.Prostap prevents the production of certain types of hormones in the body.
In women, endometriosis and uterine fibroids are treated with PROSTAP. Endometriosis is a condition where tissue resembling the womb or uterus lining (endometrium) grows in other sites in the body. The growth of this tissue is stimulated by oestrogen, so decreasing oestrogen levels with PROSTAP will stop the growth of this tissue, thereby relieving symptoms.
In men, the growth of some prostate cancers is stimulated by testosterone. Reducing the body's levels of testosterone therefore deprives the tumour of testosterone and causes it to shrink.
