Potential Orgovyx Side Effect

I have been on Orgovyx for almost 3 months and having been on Lupron for several years, I am very familiar with what side effects I can expect. I have experienced something that has cropped since I started Orgovyx and am wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing. I have had severe flatulence.

Has anyone experienced this?

Are you also experiencing some constipation? Constipation is listed as a Orgovyx side effect, and flatulence is often associated with constipation.

I have daily bowel movements. So constipation is not an issue.

No... Only thing I've noticed is possible blood sugar and lipid elevations. "Possible"... But I'll stay the course for a while as with Lupron, my T was around 8-9 and with Orgovyx it's been <5...

Good luck and best regards!

My lipids are much lower while using it, probably because it causes me to lose weight.

I have had somewhat more flatulence than usual, but nothing severe. The only unusual side effect that I have is nighttime stomach pain.

I have been taking Orgovyx for three months , too. I have hot flushes, some fatigue, evidence of an increasing glucose level, but no/no severe flatulence.

I am in my eighth month of Orgovyx. Very minimal side effects. However, it does give me extremely severe constipation. I treat that with two standard Colace every day plus 8 ounces of prune juice. I do have a LOT more flatulence than before Orgovyx but that could be because of the prune juice regimen.

Same exact side effects as I had with Firmagon...all due to low testosterone. Hot flashes primarily...as per usual for many on ADT. Flatulence in the AM prior to bowel movement...not unusual.

I've had changes in my stool but not in flatulence. It breaks down the food faster and smaller for me. I dont even need toilet paper anymore.

The flatulence is interesting, as I have that too but didn't associated it with the Orgovyx. I had a Kidney stone removed recently and have increased calcium intake with some dairy due to Oxalates, anyways .,. Attributed it to that, but could be both I guess, lolz.

Very interesting!
