PREMIUM SUSTAINED-RELEASE GONADOTROPIN-RELEASING HORMONE (GnRH) ANALOGUE FOR THREE-MONTH CELLULAR ENDOCRINE REGULATION. DISCREETLY DELIVERED IN TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED PACKAGING ACROSS NIGERIA AND WORLDWIDE.
Prostap SR 3DCS contains Leuprorelin Acetate, a highly potent gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue administered as a long-acting depot injection. Upon administration, it initially causes a temporary surge in circulating levels of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH).
With continuous exposure over the subsequent days, it down-regulates and desensitizes the pituitary GnRH receptors. This mechanical blockade halts the pituitary gland from releasing LH and FSH, leading to a profound suppression of gonadal hormone production. In males, testosterone is dropped to castrate levels; in females, estradiol is suppressed to postmenopausal levels. This hormone deprivation deprives hormone-dependent abnormal tissues of the signals they require to grow.
Advanced Prostate Cancer: Controlling and suppressing metastatic or locally advanced androgen-dependent prostate carcinomas.
Endometriosis: Suppressing estrogen production to reduce the growth of endometrial tissue fragments located outside the uterus, relieving severe pelvic pain and cramping.
Uterine Fibroids (Myomas): Shrinking subserosal or intramural uterine fibroids to minimize heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pressure, often used prior to planned surgical removal (myomectomy or hysterectomy).
Early-Stage Breast Cancer: Utilized in specific premenopausal oncological protocols requiring profound ovarian function suppression alongside other breast therapies.
✅ Adult Men managing advanced prostate carcinoma protocols.
✅ Premenopausal Women requiring targeted, temporary suppression of ovarian estrogen production to treat severe endometriosis or reduce fibroid mass.
❌ STRICT CONTRAINDICATION (PREGNANCY & LACTATION): Prostap SR must never be administered to pregnant or breastfeeding individuals. Ovarian suppression can cause severe fetal harm or termination of pregnancy. A negative pregnancy test must be confirmed before starting therapy in women of childbearing potential, and non-hormonal contraception (such as condoms) must be maintained throughout treatment.
Standard Clinical Dose: One injection of 11.25mg administered precisely every 3 months (12 weeks).
Administration: The dual-chamber syringe (3DCS) contains a dry powder microsphere matrix and a sterile solvent liquid. A healthcare professional must mix the suspension immediately before use and inject it either subcutaneously (under the skin of the abdomen or thigh) or intramuscularly (into the gluteal muscle).
💡 Never attempt to self-administer this medication at home. This specialized depot system requires precise professional reconstitution and sterile injection by a licensed nurse or physician to ensure the micro-pellets release the active hormone steadily over the full 90 days.
Leuprorelin Acetate (11.25mg): Encapsulated within biocompatible, biodegradable lactic/glycolic acid copolymer microspheres that dissolve progressively over a 3-month cycle.
Due to the profound reduction in sex hormones, common side effects across both men and women include hot flashes, heavy sweating, fatigue, sleep disturbances, mood shifts, headache, and localized tenderness or bruising at the injection site. Men may experience erectile dysfunction and a reduced libido. Women may experience vaginal dryness and temporary, irregular breakthrough bleeding during the first month before menstrual cycles stop entirely.
⚠️ CLINICAL MONITORING NOTE: During the first 1 to 2 weeks of the first injection, the initial surge in hormones can trigger a temporary "tumor flare." In men with prostate cancer, this can cause a brief increase in bone pain or mild urinary hesitancy. Your doctor may prescribe an oral anti-androgen tablet to take alongside the initiation of Prostap to safely block these receptors in advance. Long-term use (exceeding 6 months to a year) requires monitoring of bone mineral density, as prolonged hormone suppression can gradually thin bone architecture.
Will my normal menstrual cycle return after the 3-month Prostap course concludes?
Yes. For women treating endometriosis or fibroids, ovarian suppression is entirely reversible. After the 3-month depot finishes releasing the medication, pituitary function will gradually recover. Normal menstrual periods typically resume within 2 to 6 months after the final scheduled injection has lapsed.
Can I use birth control pills to manage breakthrough bleeding while on Prostap?
No. Standard oral birth control pills contain synthetic estrogen or progesterone, which counteracts the ovarian suppression mechanism Prostap is designed to achieve. If you experience unexpected spotting or breakthrough bleeding during the first few weeks, it is completely normal as your hormone levels transition. Use strictly non-hormonal barrier methods (like condoms) for birth control.
Why does this medication require cold-chain transport to Nigeria?
While the dry powder matrix is stable, extreme tropical heat exceeding 25°C can cause the internal polymer structure of the microspheres to degrade prematurely, altering how the drug releases over the 3-month period. We ship and store Prostap utilizing validated cold-chain systems to ensure it remains at its optimal manufacturer-specified temperature until it is delivered to your clinic.
Do you ship specialized oncology and gynecology medications internationally?
Yes. We deliver genuine, batch-verified prescription therapies to the UK, USA, Canada, Europe, and across Africa utilizing highly secure, temperature-monitored, and confidential medical courier channels.
Is it available across Nigeria?
Yes. We supply to all 36 states, with secure, temperature-stable express shipping options directly to your home or registered medical facility throughout Lagos and Abuja via Sanlive Pharmacy.
