switch from FIRMAGON to ENANTON LP30

[Karmaji]

I am on Firmagon from Aug 2019. PSA reduced from 30 to <0.03. T3BN0MM1

Well tolerated ...sure hot flashes and bit of breast swelling. Overall excellent QL.

except no Libido as of now. Take 5 mg of Tadalafil

Now my Oncologist recommends switching from FIRMAGON to ENANTON LP30......every 6 months

I am not convinced.....Should I stay with Firmagon or switch to ENANTON

Any comments.....Thanks

Thanks

Should I stick to Firmagon

My onco gave the impression that Enanton is more friendly

Who knows why he wishes to switch

But I have choice। Stick to Firmagon

Can u give more info

Hello,

If it works, don't mess with it. Firmagon has been around for nearly ten years. Doctor might be looking at a less expensive option ( i.e. once a month as opposed to once every six months).

It's more convenient to get the 6 month shots, and safer too during the pandemic.

Try tamoxifen (10 mg qd) for the breast swelling.

Thanks for valuable advice

I will thus stay with Firmagon

No problem of pandemics as I do it myself at home

I will ask uro for tamoxifen..

Thanks Nala TA Lake
