Important Patient Information

Store unopened Zoladex refrigerated at 2-8°C until expired, away from children. Report any concerning side effects to your physician right away.

To use Zoladex, you will need to have it injected under the skin by your doctor or nurse. The injection is usually given in the lower abdomen or buttock.

Here are the steps on how to use Zoladex:

Your doctor or nurse will clean the injection site with an alcohol swab.
They will then insert the needle under the skin at a 45-degree angle.
They will slowly inject the Zoladex medication.
Once the injection is complete, they will remove the needle and apply a bandage to the injection site.

Zoladex is a slow-release medication, so you will only need to have it injected once every 3 or 12 weeks, depending on the condition being treated.

Here are some tips for using Zoladex:

Be sure to keep your appointment for your next Zoladex injection. It is important to have your injections on schedule to ensure that the medication is working effectively.
If you miss an injection, contact your doctor or nurse as soon as possible to reschedule.
Tell your doctor or nurse if you have any allergies to medications or any other medical conditions.
Tell your doctor or nurse about all of the medications you are taking, including over-the-counter medications, herbal supplements, and vitamins.
If you have any questions or concerns about using Zoladex, be sure to talk to your doctor or nurse.
