Got the orgovyx...and two questions.....

Thank you to all that helped with my question about the best way to get Orgovyx. Just got a call from ONCO360 and it will arrive Monday. I feel Orgovyx is cutting edge treatment.

Quick couple of questions for those on it.

Are you experiencing the diarrhea side effect, and would you suggest taking it at a certain time to try and avoid hot flashes at night (don't even know if timing the dose would help).

Stay strong Brothers.

The time of day at which you take the drug will not affect the hot flashes; they derive from low T, which is constant throughout the day.

I’ve been on Orgovyx(80mg) and Xtandi(160 mg) for 11 months. I take the Orgovyx in the morning, Xtandi at bedtime. I’ve had little to no side effects, occasional warm flashes, not hot and drowsiness if I set to long. I cannot emphasize enough exercise, lots of exercise!

Excellent, I plan on keeping a fairly rigorous exercise schedule. Three days at the gym with cardio, abs and weight machines, 3 days with dumbbells at home. Walk 3-4 miles 2-3 days a week, and walk 18 holes of golf each week........we'll see how long I can stay on that schedule.

Since the medical community and Pharma will not recognize that sex, age and body mass matters and recommend the same amount a drug dosages to all, IMO you get a wide variety of side effects.

The first dose of three pills affected me a little, music sounded so much better and reminded me of the 70's but I digress.

I get warm at nights followed by chills. So I just dress lightly, lots of covers and ceiling fan going well so it all works out by throwing off and then bundling up. I have gotten Diarrhea randomly but it doesn't last.

I've halfway through the 25 days of Radiation but this is all I felt so far and I blame this all above on the drug since this started before radiation treatments.
