• For the treatment of uterine fibroids, leuprolide is usually given with iron to help improve anemia that is caused by too much vaginal bleeding.
• Leuprolide helps to reduce symptoms such as pelvic pain, painful/heavy menstrual periods, and abdominal bloating. It works by shrinking the abnormal tissue that causes these symptoms. The abnormal tissue needs the hormone estrogen to grow and spread.
