                                            Question : I have an enlarged prostate. Will the Lupron injection help to reduce my enlarged prostate and how much should my insurance company charge me for Lupron 4.0 depot?
                            
                                    Brief Answer:
Yes
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Yes, it will cause prostate shrinkage and lead to relief if symptoms. But this is not usual medication used for prostate hyperplasia. It is more commonly indicated in prostate tumor. Full price is 300-400 dollars, and I don't know how much will insurance cover in your area.
Wish you good health.
