Expert advice for Degarelix

  • Degarelix helps in the treatment of advanced hormone-dependent prostate cancer.
  • It is given by injection under the skin (subcutaneously), usually in the stomach area.
  • It may cause dizziness and blurred vision. Do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how it affects you.
  • It may cause hot flashes. Try wearing loose clothing and avoid alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods.
  • Inform your doctor if you are diabetic or have problems with your heart, kidney or liver.
  • Your doctor may check the level of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in your blood. This is done to monitor how well Degarelix is working for you. A decrease in PSA levels is usually a sign that your treatment is working.
