Xtandi / Lupron constipation

I am about 5 months into Xtandi and Lupron, and having increasingly difficult constipation. It started after the third month but is becoming more prevalent, now using laxatives. (Otc)

Anyone have similar side effects?

Any prescription meds helpful?

Hi! I didn’t have constipation while having Xtandi. You need to drink a little more water and have to harder to get the shit out. Get your stomach filled with food before doing it .
