I travel from NH to FL on regular basis. I have monthly ADT infusions of Lupron in NH (Norris Cotton) and Eligard infusions when in FL.

Is one drug better and/safer re: Cardio issues than the other ??

Lupron is injected into muscle, whereas Eligard is a subcutaneous infusion.

No difference - they are exactly the same medicine sold with two different brand names. It's like comparing Advil and Motrin. Firmagon has fewer cardio issues.
