A member asked:
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?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
