I remembered there was some issue with Orgovyx, So I went back and looked at what he said, And missed the small bit where he mentioned the conflict with his heart medication.
I’ve never heard of a problem with heart medication and Orgovyx. Would definitely like to hear what drug he has a problem with, since one drug I take is supposed to be a problem. It could be an Antiarrhythmics. Considering I have problems with heartbeats and just had to have cardioversion after an afib event, Makes me wonder if I have a conflict.
Just looking at drug Conflicts and I see that Diltiazem is listed as one of the drugs that can cause more Orgovyx To stay in the system. It is interesting that none of my doctors have ever mentioned that, and I take Diltiazem. I’ve had doctors pour over what medication’s I take before surgery so they can tell me which drug to stop and no one’s ever said stop that drug. Another drug I used to take, Coreg, Is also listed as a conflict. I’m the one that told my doctor I want to stop taking that I wanted to start taking metoprolol instead, both beta blockers.
I am actually going to do a little more research. Maybe my heart rhythm problems are due to a conflict.

Jeff, I was taking Flecanide and Metropol for my very occasional tachycardia (not AFIB). It was the Flecanide that conflicted with Orgyvx. My cardio said stop Flecanide to allow me to use Orgyvx and just take more Metropol if I have an episode (which happens about 5x/year). This is now somewhat moot, since MO is prescribing the patch instead of Orgyvx. I will ask if the patch conflicts with Flecanide. If not, I may ask to go back on, since it seems to work well for me.

@jeffmarc I don't have heart issues, but I was on Perindopril Erbumine (Coversyl) + Diltiazem to control mild hypertension (aviation medicals are strict about that).
When I started on ADT and Apalutamide, they stopped the Diltiazem and switched me to Perindopril Erbumine / Indapramide (Coversyl Plus).
