About Buserelin

Buserelin is used to treat fertility problems in women. It is also a potent solution for endometriosis. It usually helps to reduce the production of female hormones such as oestrogen which can worsen the condition of endometriosis.

The dosage of Buserelin depends upon the age, weight, medical history of the patient, health conditions and the response to the therapy.

Most of the drugs are contraindicated in patients who have suffered or are suffering from cardiac disorders, lungs or liver disorders or renal malfunctioning. In such cases, immense precaution is required in the determination of the dosage. Take proper medical help in case you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy any time soon or breastfeeding. You must also inform the doctor of any other prescription drugs that you may be taking, such as hormonal pills as oral contraceptives, or any dietary supplements as Buserelin may interact with the other drugs and cause a number of health complications. The doctor should also be informed of any allergies that you may be having of any drug, food or other substance. You must avoid alcohol consumption, smoking, tobacco or caffeine during the course of the treatment to avoid any further health complications.
