📋Overview
Eligard is a medication that contains leuprolide acetate, a type of hormone therapy known as a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist. It is primarily used in the management of advanced prostate cancer by reducing the levels of testosterone in the body. Lowering testosterone can help slow the growth of prostate cancer cells, as these cells often rely on this hormone to grow. Eligard is associated with conditions where hormone regulation is a key part of disease management.
