Lupron is a type of chemotherapy that prevents cancer cells from multiplying and restricts their growth.

Wash hands before and after injection.

- Choose an injection site that does not have skin discoloration, nodules, lesions, scars, or excess hair.
- Avoid areas that may be compressed or rubbed (e.g., belt or waistband area).
- If a syringe is required, use insulin syringes.
- Alternate injection sites periodically.
