How Zoladex 3.6 mg Injection Works?

Zoladex 3.6 mg Injection is a derivative of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Zoladex Injection works by reducing the levels of hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, which can promote the growth of certain cancers. The hormone GnRH works by blocking the GnRH receptors in the pituitary gland, resulting in a decrease in the release of luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). These hormones regulate the production of oestrogen and testosterone. By reducing the presence of these hormones, Zoladex 3.6 mg slows or stops the progression of certain cancers.
