I would be interested to hear from anyone who has received Staladex instead of Prostap. My pharmacy issued this drug instead of Prostap last week and my nurse did not know too much about it. It is an implant that is injected in the tummy. The needle is fatter so it hurts. I could not refuse at the time as waiting for a replacement would take time. Now I’m wondering if it is as effective. It has the same formulation but it does concern me.
