Lupron Substitute

I was given Lupron every 3 months for my first 9 months and then switched to something that was injected into my abdominal muscles every 3 months. Any idea of what the second round was and it’s effectiveness? I was told that there was a shortage of Lupron during the pandemic. Now back on Lupron. Thanks, Jim

Eligard?

Possibly Firmagon?

Highly unlikely as Firmagon is injected on a 28 day cycle

Zoladex (goserelin acetate)?

Eligard used as a option during shortage. I was told there was no difference between the two.Back on Lupron now. Did not observe any side effect changes.
