Goserelin is like a conductor in the body's hormone orchestra. It regulates the production of certain hormones, particularly ones involved in conditions like prostate cancer in men and endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and breast cancer in women.

For example, in prostate cancer, Goserelin signals the body to stop making testosterone, which is a hormone that can fuel the growth of cancer cells. By reducing testosterone levels, Goserelin slows down the cancer's growth, giving other treatments a chance to work better.

In women with conditions like endometriosis and uterine fibroids, Goserelin helps lower estrogen levels. Estrogen is a hormone that can cause abnormal tissue growth in the uterus. By lowering estrogen, Goserelin helps shrink these growths and ease symptoms like pelvic pain and heavy bleeding.

Overall, Goserelin acts like a regulator, keeping hormone levels in check to help manage various health conditions.

Gilteritinib is useful for treating a specific type of blood cancer called acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This medicine helps slow down or stop the growth of leukemia cells in the bone marrow, giving the body a chance to fight back against the cancer. So, if someone has AML, Gilteritinib might be part of their treatment plan to help them get better.

If you miss a dose of Goserelin, don't panic! Just take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next scheduled dose, it's better to skip the missed one and take the next dose at the usual time.

It's important not to take extra doses to make up for the missed one. Taking too much Goserelin at once can increase the risk of side effects.

If you're not sure what to do, it's always a good idea to check with your doctor or nurse for guidance. They can give you the best advice based on your individual situation.

Please book a consultation with our Oncology Clinical Specialist to know more about what happens if you miss the dose.

3. **Reduced Libido:** Some individuals may notice a decrease in sex drive or interest in sexual activity while taking Goserelin.
