Odd that you should have ‘allergic’ reaction 2 months after starting it; but I guess it could happen.
Can you pinpoint exactly when these reactions occurred - minutes, hours after taking? Did it occur after eating?
The reason I ask is that it could be tick bite related and you may be getting a reaction from meat/meat byproduct eaten 2-4 hrs before noticing symptoms.
I had a meat allergy - it’s called Alpha-gal Syndrome- and had no problem with Orgovyx; but I was not eating meat either.
This allergy has become more widespread in the US in the past 2 years and is seen in areas previously untouched.
There is a simple blood test for it and may be worth it, since IMO, Orgovyx is a damned good drug…Best,
Phil

@heavyphil - lip swelling occurred the following morning and more than 8 hours post dose unrelated to eating. I then also had 2 episodes of hives on consecutive days.

@heavyphil - The lip swelling occurred the following morning unrelated to administration to food the night before. I then developed significant hives on two occasions 2 days later managed with antihistamines and started of medrol dose pack. Following up with med onc on start of Lupron.
