Layperson reponse: Both injectable Eligard or oral Orgovyx are recommended therapies. Insurance coverage may be more comprehensive for Eligard (Medicare Part B and Medicare Supp, if applicable) vs Orgovyx Tier 5 Medicare Part D coverage. I am beginning 4 mos of Orgovyx Friday, with 38 radiation txs beginning Jan 13. Orgovix has a slightly better cardiac risk profile to Eligard (think 3% vs 6%, not positive). Obviously, choice is yours to make with your MDs. Good luck.
