Zoladex

Goserelin Acetate

What is Zoladex used for?

Goserelin is used to treat certain types of cancer (prostate and breast). It is also used to thin the lining of the uterus (endometrium) in preparation for a procedure to treat abnormal uterine bleeding. Goserelin is also used to treat a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus also grows outside the uterus (endometriosis). Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of treatment. Goserelin is similar to a natural hormone made by the body (luteinizing hormone releasing hormone-LHRH). It works by decreasing testosterone hormones and estrogen hormones. This effect helps to slow or stop the growth of certain cancer cells and uterine tissue that need these hormones to grow and spread.
