Hi Guys!

Has anybody had the experience in getting high blood pressure and high blood sugar level from Lupron and Enzalutamide? Is this a rare thing or a common thing for those cancers treated with hormonal drugs like Lupron and Enzalutamide? Appreciate your responses. Thanks.

Nature of the beast, Prednisone is given to help heart issues but contributes to high glucose. Change in diet and working out will fix it

Yes, this is information from the FDA, look at section 6 and 5.2

Everyone responds differently to medications. Both high blood pressure and high blood sugar are common reactions to ADT drugs.

Thanks. Are there anything we should do or refrain or eat to encounter the reactions? May l know whether you have had this experience ?

Does estrogen replacement correct the anemia as well?
