What is Eligard and how does it work?
Eligard is a prescription medication used in the management of advanced prostate cancer. It is a palliative treatment designed to control the disease and improve quality of life. The drug contains leuprolide acetate, which belongs to a class of drugs called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. It works by initially stimulating and then suppressing the production of testosterone and other male hormones, which can slow the growth of hormone-sensitive prostate cancer cells. While its primary use is for prostate cancer, healthcare providers may sometimes prescribe it off-label for conditions like endometriosis or uterine fibroids, as it can also reduce estrogen production. Eligard is administered by a healthcare professional as a subcutaneous injection, with formulations available that provide continuous medication release over two, four, or six months.
What side effects are associated with Eligard?
Common side effects of Eligard are often related to its hormonal action and may include hot flashes, night sweats, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, joint or muscle pain, nausea, and injection site reactions. Patients may also experience mood changes, depression, or insomnia. While rare, serious risks include an increased potential for cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke, severe allergic reactions, and serious skin conditions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome. It is crucial to contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction (e.g., rash, swelling, difficulty breathing) or any severe skin peeling or blistering.
