How Is the Zoladex Implanted?
Zoladex is given in a tiny implant inserted via a needle into the skin of your stomach, once every 28 days. You will get the implant in a clinic or doctor’s office.
In some cases, your dosing schedule may vary, especially if you are also receiving chemotherapy. It is very important to receive your Zoladex implant injections on time each month. You might not feel the implant through your skin, and it should not cause any pain or discomfort. The implant will dissolve in your body over time.
Several symptoms of the condition may occur when your hormone levels are adjusting. If these symptoms don’t improve after some weeks, tell your doctor immediately. If you are a premenopausal woman, you should stop having menstrual periods while the Zoladex implant is in place.
Call your doctor if you still experience regular periods. Missing a dose can cause breakthrough bleeding. After you stop using Zoladex, you should begin having regular periods within 12 weeks. Your blood sugar may need to be checked while using Zoladex, even if you are not diabetic.
Goserelin can lead to unusual results with certain medical tests. Tell your doctor about Zoladex you are using.
