Hello Everyone,

I have been on Decapeptyl injections for around 2 years now and recently switched to Prostap. However, at my last appointment, my Oncologist said that Relugolix is now licensed and gradually should become more available. I can see from the Forum that a few men seem to have switched to it already, but trying to gauge how readily available it is becoming?  A daily tablet is far more appealing to me than injections.

Many Thanks

  • Hello  . I can't answer your question about availability in the UK but my husband was switched from Prostap, which he had been on for almost 5 years, to Relugolix (Orgovyx) about 7 weeks ago. He found that his testosterone dropped from around 15 to 5ng/dL very rapidly. As we live in Greece we are aware of the cost of treatments and by comparison the Prostap 3 is 250 Euros compared to 190Euros for a months supply of Relugolix so you might find some resistance if this is taken into account. In my husband's case he has had no additional side effects although I have noticed that he is a little more emotional. 

    I hope you get some more relevant replies but good luck in getting it.
