What is Suprefact Depot?

Suprefact Depot (Buserelin) is a medication that has been designed to mimic the actions of natural gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH or LHRH), a hormone released from the hypothalamus gland in the brain. The hypothalamus uses GnRH to send messages to the pituitary gland in the brain, which then sends messages to the ovaries in females, and the testicles in males, telling them to produce the sex hormones estrogen (females) and testosterone (males).

Suprefact Depot How to Take

Suprefact Depot (Buserelin) is a medication that has been designed to mimic the actions of natural gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH or LHRH), a hormone released from the hypothalamus gland in the brain.

The hypothalamus uses GnRH to send messages to the pituitary gland in the brain, which then sends messages to the ovaries in females, and the testicles in males, telling them to produce the sex hormones estrogen (females) and testosterone (males).

Normally, GnRH comes from the hypothalamus in pulses. If GnRH came from the hypothalamus all of the time (rather than in "pulses"), it would have the opposite effect and "turn off" hormone production. Suprefact Depot (Buserelin) works by acting in place of GnRH and causes hormone production to be "turned off." As a result, the production of estrogen and testosterone by the body is reduced.

Suprefact Depot (Buserelin) is used for the treatment of advanced Prostate Cancer. It helps prostate cancer by causing a reduction in the amount of testosterone in the blood. It is also used to treat Endometriosis (a painful condition caused by growth of extra tissue inside or outside the uterus). It helps endometriosis by reducing the amount of estrogen in the blood.

Suprefact Depot (Buserelin) may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Suprefact Depot (Buserelin) may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Suprefact Depot (Buserelin) may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Suprefact Depot (Buserelin) for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are using Suprefact Depot (Buserelin), speak to your doctor. Do not stop using Suprefact Depot (Buserelin) without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Suprefact Depot (Buserelin) to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to use Suprefact Depot (Buserelin) if their doctor has not prescribed it.
