Prostap Query

Morning all,

Can anyone tell me the longest period of time they've been on Prostap SR? I've had four injections thus far and due to end in two months but it does seem to be reducing the frequency of severe pain (albeit not entirely removing it altogether). I know the recommendation is six months because of bone density issues but wondered if anyone had been on it for say one year or thereabouts?

Thanks in advance...

Thanks for that; I didn't realise it was restricted legally.  I assumed it was a 'recommendation' only. I've already had some of the side effects but thus far it has been the only hormone which hasn't affected me too badly (i.e. Letrozole turned me psychotic - and I'm only slightly joking!).  Appreciate the link...cheers.

Hi. I have just had my 8th injection tidy. They have advised for me to stay on it until I have my hysterectomy as it's the best option for me. I am only 33 and I am having alot of pains in my bones especially severely in my back, hips and right leg and it has also caused for me to have low blood pressure which I found out today at my ore-op but have never had low blood pressure before. Feeling off today too so will be glad when I don't have to have these injections anymore but has helped massively for my pain as havnt been no where as bad as when before I started these. X
