Decapeptyl is a medication used to treat prostate cancer in men and endometriosis or uterine fibroids in women. It works by reducing the secretion of hormones that stimulate the growth of these conditions, which helps control the disease and reduce its associated symptoms. It is also used in some infertility treatment programs to regulate ovulation. It must be used under the supervision of a specialist doctor, while adhering to the specified injection schedule and conducting periodic examinations to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment and avoid side effects such as hot flashes, mood swings, or long-term bone weakness.
Decapeptyl is an important hormonal medication in the treatment of some chronic hormone-related conditions.
