3 monthly (12 weeks) injection is Decapeptyl SR 11.25 mg.

Decapeptyl SR is available in two other strengths: Decapeptyl SR 3 mg is used once a month and Decapeptyl SR 22.5 mg is used once every 6 months.

Don't understand why the nurse would say the dose is the same for 1 or 3 months - its not. Probably good to check you actually got the Decapeptyl SR 11.25 mg injection.

I had to check as between the oncologist and the surgery. Initially they both assumed each were responsible so I went 2 months without a injection
