Infertility is a problem that is already taking on global significance. Medical diagnostic centers and IVF centers receive more patients every year. The reasons why men and women cannot have children are various, but most often they are all kinds of tumor diseases or hormonal imbalances. The cause of female infertility can be various fibroids and uterine fibroids, endometrioses of various types. Male - these are all kinds of tumors in the prostate gland. The treatment of such diseases is quite lengthy. Surgery is often necessary. After which it is necessary to give "rest" to the worried organ and time for its restoration.
The modern drug "Lucrin Depot" is a synthetic endogenous gonadotropin-releasing hormone. It is noted that the synthetic analogue is more effective than the natural one. The drug has a slowing effect on the development of tumors arising from an imbalance of sex hormones.
When the drug “Lucrin Depot" first enters the human body, the concentration of sex hormones rises. This is due to the interaction of the drug with the pituitary hormone. Then there is a decrease in concentration, which sometimes reaches the castration level in men and to the level of menopause in women.
The drug "Lucrin Depot" is available in powder form, from which a suspension for injection is prepared. The concentration of the drug for each disease is different, and the preparation of an injection solution is a complex technological process.
