In clinical studies, the most frequent adverse event related to therapy with Lupron Depot-PED was an injection site reaction, seen in 5% of children in the combined studies. The recommended starting dose of Lupron Depot-PED is 0.3 mg/kg/4 weeks (minimum 7.5 mg). Inadequate dosing may result in poor control of the pubertal process, allowing continued sexual development; therefore, adherence to the 4-week dosing interval must be maintained. Stimulation of sexual development may occur after the first dose or if the dose is inadequate. Lupron Depot-PED is indicated in the treatment of children with central precocious puberty. Individual results may vary. Please see the full Prescribing Information and the Patient Product Information.
