Since 1995, a monthly dose of ZOLADEX 3.6mg has been approved for breast cancer treatment.

The latest approval provides a three-month dosing alternative specifically for younger women with hormone-positive (HR+) breast cancer.

The approval of the 10.8mg dosage is supported by multiple international studies that assessed the efficacy and safety of goserelin for ovarian function suppression in premenopausal patients with HR+ breast cancer.
