Firmagon inj is given subcutaneously in the belly fat because most people on ADT have plentiful of belly fat ensuring good absorption and steady distribution in that area.

Theoretically, Firmagon can be given in any part where you have good amount of fatty tissue e.g buttocks or even thighs...but most medical people are creature of habit so they like to stay with what is most familiar to them.

I get mine in the buttocks. Much better than the belt line.

The doctor should use four sectors around the navel and place injection on a round-robin basis:

I got my first to shots of Firmagon about 2 1/2 weeks ago. The nurse brought two plastic bags of ice that I held tight to my stomach for about 15 minutes. Once good and numb I received my shots. No pain or discomfort at all.
