Having been on Prostap for a couple of months now along with Apalutamide for nearly 3 weeks I have had some odd body happenings and am wondering if they are not so common side effects of the drugs. Thankfully both so far have only given me the hot flushes which only happen while I'm in bed, at least two during the night but I can cope with that.
The odd symptoms are my nose is cold most of the time! I've tried to find out why and the only connection I can find is that Apalutamide does effect our white blood cells and it can cause this symptom.
The other weird occurrence is that both my finger nails and toe nails are growing much faster that usual in the last few months. So is anyone else having either of these symptoms on the two dugs, or am I overthinking things.
Hello newtoallthis
Here's a link to the Patient Information Leaflets included with the injection. As these are done by the GP it's possible you haven't seen them:
Prostap - Patient Information Leaflet.
Apalutamide - Patient Information leaflet.
The list of possible side effects is er - very inclusive to say the least.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes - Brian.
