Overview Glerelin Injection

Glerelin Injection serves as a treatment for prostate cancer, endometriosis (characterized by excessive uterine lining growth leading to pain, heavy or irregular menstruation), uterine fibroids, and central precocious puberty (abnormally early puberty). Administered subcutaneously by a healthcare professional, the dosage and frequency are determined by your physician based on your condition and may vary. Strict adherence to your doctor's instructions is crucial; incorrect usage or overdose can result in severe adverse reactions. While therapeutic effects might not be immediately apparent (several weeks or months may pass), discontinue use only under medical guidance. Frequently reported side effects include reduced sex drive, increased perspiration, tiredness, muscle weakness, and hot flushes. Prolonged use can potentially weaken bones, reducing bone mineral density; therefore, calcium and vitamin D supplementation is recommended. Treatment may temporarily suspend menstruation (7-12 weeks); persistent bleeding should be reported. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any history of alcohol consumption, smoking, or osteoporosis. Inform your healthcare provider of all other medications you are taking, as interactions are possible. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding; reliable contraception is essential for both partners throughout treatment.
