Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Lupron (generic name: leuprolide) is known to cause the adverse effect of sore nipples. You can go through the following link:

Please discuss with your treating physician. He would be able to suggest dosage modification or could choose other alternatives if possible.
