I have been taking Erleada 240mg a day for 60 days .It’s causing my heart rate to drop. Is anyone aware of a cancer med that does not effect heart functions. Besides periodic muscle spasms that’s the only drawback.

Thx

How is your blood pressure?. Erleada is associated with hypertension. Hypertension could lead to a decrease of the heart rate.

Erleada could also affect heart function including ischemic heart disease and heart failure.

Slow heart beat (bradycardia) is not listed as a side effect of Erleada. However, hypothyroidism is a known side effect and can cause bradycardia. I suggest you get a blood test for thyroid hormone. If that is the cause, it may be causing fatigue and weight gain too. The solution may be as simple as a thyroid pill.
