Re Orgovyx: Here is what my radiation oncologist at Mayo PHX, Dr. Keole, told me when I asked him: "I have not prescribed relugolix, aka Orgovyx. It requires closer medical management, due to cardiac side effects, and I would personally not manage it in my clinic. Does Medicare cover it? I didn't think that they did. It is a very, very expensive drug (>$2,000 a month, I think)?"

I have completed i week on Orgovyx. No side effects yet. perhaps your radiologist is concerned about elevated glucose and trigylcerides which need to b managed. My prescription plan covers it.
