One month of Orgovyx completed

From my studying it appears to me that the Orgovyx is the superior product. I cannot compare pricing, but I have a Medicare supplement and Well Care Part D. My first Rx cost me $997, the second was around $600. Now that it is the new year the next one will be back to the $997 I suspect.

So is the decision to go on Lupron instead of Orgovyx often primarily an economic one? I was not aware of that to be honest.
Is there any case where Lupron may be the better product?

Orgovyx does have "superiority" over say, Lupron...my layman's understanding...
No flare...
Faster to castration
Higher sustained castration while on the treatment
Lower CV SE profile
Faster recovery of T when stopping
No visits to the doctor for a shot.
As to the SEs, well, I'm nine months in, hot flashes, some wight gain, fatigue, muscle and joint stiffness, genitalia shrinkage tough no loss of libido and to my wife's dismay, with daily cialis, am still able to get an erection with the right physical and mental stimulation.
I have an Apple watch which I use to set reminders for my medications, every evening at 200 a reminder pops up on my phone and watch to take Orgovyx (and others)...
Price, well that will depend on many factors. I have standard Medicare, TICARE for Life is my secondary and also Part D. My co-pay is $48 for a 90 day supply, TFL pays around $4800.
So, all those years in the foxhole is proving gto have some benefits!
