I'm on it and don't have an answer for effectiveness related to Lupron, but, my doc told me the reason for using it was my age. He believes that the recovery once we stop taking the drug will be quicker and more complete than the recovery from Lupron...I'll get back to ya on that 🙂

The advantages over Lupron are:

No flare associated with Lupron which has an initial surge in testosterone which for some men with advanced PCa can be painful.

Faster to castrate levels of testosterone and somewhat better at sustaining castration over time.

Lower CV and metabolic side affect profile.

Faster recovery of testosterone after coming off it.
