Zoladex 3.6mg Goserelin Depot Injection - 1 Pre-filled Syringe
Hormone-responsive conditions, such as advanced prostate cancer in men and severe endometriosis or breast cancer in women, rely on testosterone and estrogen to progress. Zoladex 3.6mg provides critical medical castration therapy. Acting as an LHRH agonist, this solid depot implant continuously releases Goserelin over 28 days. This stops the pituitary gland from signaling the production of sex hormones, starving tumors of their fuel and rapidly shrinking painful endometrial tissues.
How to Use / Operate
Must be administered exclusively by a qualified healthcare professional. The pre-filled syringe is used to inject the solid depot pellet subcutaneously into the anterior abdominal wall. Administered exactly every 28 days.

Important Clinical Considerations
During the first few weeks of therapy, a temporary "flare" or increase in hormone levels occurs, which may worsen bone pain or urinary symptoms initially before dropping to castrate levels. Long-term use reduces bone mineral density.
