Dosage by Use Case
Prostate Cancer (Advanced)
Long-term (months to years)
Subcutaneous injection or nasal spray. Monitor testosterone levels. May require antiandrogen co-administration initially to mitigate flare.
Endometriosis
3-6 months
Subcutaneous injection or nasal spray. Monitor estradiol levels. Bone density scans may be recommended for longer durations of treatment.
IVF (Long Protocol)
Until HCG administration
Subcutaneous injection. Used to suppress ovulation and prevent premature LH surge. Dosage and timing are crucial and managed by a fertility specialist.
Timing & Frequency
For prostate cancer and endometriosis, doses are typically spaced evenly throughout the day. For IVF, dosing starts during the mid-luteal phase and continues until HCG administration.
Cycle Guidance
For prostate cancer, buserelin is often used long-term. For endometriosis, cycles are typically limited to 3-6 months. For IVF, the duration is dictated by the IVF protocol.
