Question

Lupron implant is an example of:

• A. \( \text{Erodible implant} \)
• B. \( \text{Implant pump} \)
• C. \( \text{Both (A) and (B)} \)
• D. \( \text{None of these} \)

Hint:

Erodible implants provide continuous drug release while eliminating the need for extraction, enhancing patient compliance.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Lupron (Leuprolide) implant is an erodible polymer-based drug delivery system used for hormonal therapy. It gradually dissolves in the body, releasing medication over a controlled period to treat conditions such as prostate cancer or endometriosis. Erodible implants offer sustained drug release without requiring surgical removal.
