Leuprolide acetate is a synthetic drug that is used to treat a number of conditions, including prostate cancer, uterine cancer, and endometriosis. This drug belongs to a class of drugs called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. These drugs work by blocking the release of a hormone called GnRH from the brain. This hormone is responsible for the stimulation of the production of sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. By blocking the release of GnRH, leuprolide acetate can help to decrease the production of these hormones. This can not only help to treat the condition being treated, but can also help to prevent the recurrence of the condition.
