Hello everyone, my child was recently diagnosed with Central Precocious Puberty, and the doctor has prescribed Lupron Depot-Ped 11.25mginj/3 Mth. I want to know more about this medicine. I understand it's given via injection every three months and helps slow down or stop the early development of puberty. However, I am worried about the possible side effects. The doctor explained there are some serious side effects to watch out for, like allergic reactions, seizures, mood changes, and more. On the other hand, most people experience no side effects or only mild ones. I'm curious about everyone's experience with this medication. How's it working out for you? How did you handle the injection process? What side effects have you noticed? Any tips for managing them? I'd appreciate any insights or advice you can share. Thanks in advance!
