My husband has stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer

So my husband went in for his first injection of Lupron today. A nurse at the cancer center said the medical oncologist decided to switch my husband to Leuprolide?? Along with this switch this injection is given every 3 months instead of the Lupron every month? So am wondering if anyone has been on this injection? I guess I'm wondering why this switch was not even talked about before with us? Is this just routine at cancer centers?

Leuprolide is simply the generic name for Lupron. The nurse should have known this. My husband has had Lupron shots every three or every six months, depending on which facility is giving them, for many, many years.
