What Are The Side Effects Of Lupron Injection?
I m 70+ y.o. with history of tachycardia (SVT) for about 12-13 years. Most episodes have been a year or more apart, and closest ones about 6 mos. apart. Two weeks ago, I received an injection of Lupron (3 mos. dose) for prostate cancer. I had SVT the next day and again 11 days later. I can t identify any precipitating factor (e.g., stress, exertion) for either instance. I m concerned that Lupron might be causing these two episodes, so I should possibly not take it anymore.

Hi
I had gone through the question and understand your concern.
See , common side effects of Lupron Injection include redness/burning/stinging/pain/bruising at the injection site, hot flashes (flushing), increased sweating, night sweats, tiredness, headache, upset stomach, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, breast swelling or tenderness, acne, joint/muscle aches or pain, trouble sleeping (insomnia), reduced sexual interest, vaginal discomfort/dryness/itching/discharge, vaginal bleeding, swelling of the ankles/feet, increased urination at night, dizziness, weakness, chills, clammy skin, skin redness, itching, or scaling, testicle pain, impotence, depression, or memory problems.
However , SVT is not even a rare side effect of Lupron injection. So , i would say you take Lupron injection as it does not precipitates your SVT.
I hope this information helps.
Let me know if you have any other queries.
Wish you good health
