Lupron Depot Uses and Side Effects Lupron Depot Uses & Indications: Lupron (Lucrin) Depot is commonly used to treat endometriosis and uterine fibroids. For the treatment of uterine fibroids, leuprolide is usually given with iron to help improve anemia that is caused by too much vaginal bleeding. Leuprolide helps to reduce symptoms such as pelvic pain, painful/heavy menstrual periods, and abdominal bloating. It works by shrinking the abnormal tissue that causes these symptoms. The abnormal tissue needs the hormone estrogen to grow and spread. Leuprolide helps  decrease the amount of estrogen that is made in the body.
