What is Viadur?
Viadur is a leuprolide acetate implant that is placed under the skin of the patient s upper inner arm. The implant releases leuprolide acetate, which reduces the amount of testosterone produced by the testicles and circulated in the body. Viadur releases leuprolide acetate for 12 months. After 12 months, the implant must be removed and may be replaced with a new implant. Viadur treats the symptoms of advanced prostate cancer, but is not a cure for cancer.
