Zoladex (Goserelin 3.6mg) Injection

Uses of Zoladex

Zoladex (Goserelin 3.6mg) is commonly used to:

• Treat prostate cancer by lowering testosterone levels

• Manage advanced breast cancer by reducing estrogen levels

• Control endometriosis symptoms and shrink uterine tissue

• Prepare the uterus lining before endometrial ablation surgery

How Zoladex Works

Goserelin is a Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) agonist. It temporarily shuts down the body’s production of sex hormones (testosterone in men, estrogen in women), which helps slow the growth of hormone-sensitive tumors and reduce symptoms of hormone-related conditions.
