Question: HI, I have a question for the doctor on Lupron injections to keep prostate cancer under control.

As I understand, one of the side-effects from Lupron is to weaken immune system, currently it is most important to defend from Coronavirus.

Question: Comparing a dosage of 7.5mg Lupron to 22.5mg Lupron, does the higher dosage have a stronger side-effect in weakening the immune system?
