I don’t understand why people get Firmagon. You can get a Lupron six months shot, they give it in the back of the thigh/hip and in my case I never even felt it. Does exactly the same as firmagon. They have one, three and four month shots as well. I think urologist like to give firmagon because they give it once a month and get people to come in and have insurance pay for it once a month.
Maybe somebody on Firmagon can see this and think twice.
The big advantage of Orgovyx is that your testosterone can return quicker after you stop taking it. It is pretty expensive, but insurance covers it for most people.
