A member asked:

Can lupron (leuprolide) depot cause an increase in blood platelets?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: There are reports showing that depo-lupron can decrease platelet production. If you plan on being on it for extended periods of time than you should measure your platelets on a regular basis especially if you have other risk factors that lower platelet counts.
