Lupron, reportedly, causes different side effects in women and in men. Women should not take the medication if they are pregnant or breast-feeding, because it has been linked to certain birth defects and it is not known if breast milk contains the medication.

Women should use a barrier method of contraception rather than taking the pill. If a woman should become pregnant while taking Lupron, she should tell her doctor immediately and stop having Lupron injections. If a woman has a history of depression, her doctor should monitor her closely during the course of her treatment.  Before starting Lupron, a man should tell his doctor about his complete medical history, and about any history of metastatic spine cancer or urinary tract obstruction in particular.

Both women and men should tell their doctors about all medication, vitamins, herbal supplements they are taking before starting Lupron. Anyone who believes they may have been harmed by Lupron should consult an attorney for information about their rights to seek compensation.
