Hey there, I decided to call my pharmacist today and ask him a couple
questions. One for me, and I also asked him if there was ANYTHING out
there to get Lupron out of your system faster. Unfortunately, he said
no. There are herbal liver detox kits that clean out your liver and
kidneys, and that's where most drugs accumulate, but he said the lupron
goes into all parts of your body and just has to metabolize it's way out
over time. I was hoping he would have something to help both you and
Maggie get over your side effects faster. Feel better.
