Usage

Firmagon (Degarelix Acetate) is a prescription medication used to treat advanced prostate cancer. This condition occurs when the prostate cancer has spread beyond the prostate gland and nearby areas to other parts of the body. The active ingredient in Firmagon is Degarelix Acetate. Degarelix Acetate belongs to the class of medication called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist. It works by decreasing the amount of testosterone in the body to slow the growth of the tumour.

• Signs of an allergic reaction, such as severe itching, wheezing, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue;
• Sudden dizziness
