Safe up to 55 lbs wt: Central precocious puberty requires both early development of both pubic hair + breast development. Should be safe for girls weighing up to 55 lbs. Should be given regularly every 28 days. Consider 2nd opinion if daughter is older than age-8-years.

Question 3

lupron (leuprolide) depot not covered by ins.. pharmacy will not accept medication discount from drug company. any lower cost alternatives for tx of endometriosis?

Accepted Answer

Lupron (leuprolide) is not alone: Endometriosis is a common cause of cyclic pelvic pain.  It is linked to your menstrual cycle, so attempts to suppress your cycle should help with pain related to endomtriosis.  Hormonal therapies including birth control pills, NuvaRing and the depo-shot should be re-considered.  Also, these combined with nsaids (ibuprofen-like medications) should be considered.

Question 4

i read the drug lupron (leuprolide) can be given to make young women grow taller. will it also cause height to grow in adult women (over 35) if taken for iuis?

Accepted Answer

No: Lupron (leuprolide) is typically given to girls in cases of precocious puberty to prevent their growth plates from fusing too early, prolonging their period of growth.  Once you are past the age of normal pubertal growth, Lupron (leuprolide) has no effect on height.

Question 5

can drugs in ivf make endometriosis worse? if yes, what is the solution to get pregnant and deal with endo? how can depo-provera lupron (leuprolide) help?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ask REI.: Your questions are astute and complicated. Long story short: ivf hormones can make your endometriosis worse; Lupron (leuprolide) can help but not during ivf cycles; surgical extirpation of endometriosis before ivf best bet, if possible. Seek help from a reputable rei center in your area, take Folic Acid 1-5 mg daily and best of luck!

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Endometriosis & IVF: Depo-lupron monthly or 3-month injections are used for women with endometriosis, pelvic pain or fibroids, men with prostate cancer, and children with puberty too young.
