Subject: Re: Lupron 1 mo. vs. 4 mo. depot
The one month and the four month are absolutely NOT the same form of
the drug. The drug (Lupron) is the same of course, but the time
release is just what it says.
Giving four times the amount of the one month Lupron will not make it
last four months. It'll still be consumed within the one month
period.
A single dose of the four month Lupron from Professional Arts will
cost you around $100. So if you're getting three doses of it, it
sure doesn't sound like four month Lupron if you're only paying $105.
I suggest you get clarification from your vet or Professional Arts.
