androgen blockade (adrenal gland)

Just stumbled across this while researching why my "T" is still high (187) while on Eligard. I can see where this could be possible.. going to as Doc about it. Ed

Surely you need to add Zytiga which specifically stops the adrenal gland producing testosterone derivatives.

“Zytiga® works in a different manner than other androgen deprivation therapies. Zytiga® interferes with an enzyme that is expressed in testicular, adrenal, and prostatic tumor tissues and is required as part of the body’s androgen producing process. Because of this interference the amount of androgens produced are decreased. Zytiga®, blocks androgen production at three sources; the testes, the adrenal glands, as well as from the tumor itself.”
