Firmagon vs. Lupron

[epfj3333]

PSA undetectable, all scans negative. On Firmagon every 28 days. The last two shots I've had bad reactions. Chills and no sleep the day of the shot and flu like symptons for a week or so. My question is this: Would it be risky to switch to a six month Lupron shot instead of monthly Firmagon shots? The Firmagon is working so I don't want to switch to something that may not work. Is the six month Lupron shot just as effective as the monthly Firmagon shot? Thanks.

Men often start with Firmagon for a month or two and then switch to Lupron.

Thanks. I just want to make sure the six month shot of Lupron will be as effective as the 28 day Firmagon shot. Do you think it will be as effective as the Firmagon has been?

Yes - they both prevent all testosterone production.

Have you tried to obtain an Orgovyx prescription? Is the pill form of Degarelix/Firmagon!

Is worth a conversation with your team...

Thanks. I'll look into it.

Hint: Get your Lupron shot in a cheek of your ASSets......

I'm getting it in the head of my dick (if I can find it)!

Unfortunately there's a separate charge for that...... (X amount per Millimeter)....
