Endometriosis (a condition in which endometrial tissue grows in other areas of the body)
Uterine fibroids (noncancerous tumors in the uterus)
Central precocious puberty (puberty that occurs too soon) in children.
Lupron Depot is similar to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), a hormone found naturally in the body. GnRH controls the release of two other hormones from the pituitary gland: luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). These two hormones stimulate the production of sex hormones (testosterone and estrogen) in the ovaries and testicles.
Sometimes drugs are used to treat a condition they are not officially approved to treat. This is called an "off-label" use. Prescribing Lupron Depot as a treatment for breast cancer is an off-label use.
