Uses of Degarelix - Firmagon 120mg:
Used in the Treatment of Prostate Cancer
Product Introduction:
A form of hormone therapy called firmagon 120 mg Injection uses Degarelix as its active component to treat prostate cancer. Males have a gland called the prostate that generates seminal fluid. Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops in this gland. Most cancer is a disorder in which cells multiply in an uncontrolled and abnormal manner. Most types of prostate cancer need the male hormone testosterone to grow and spread.
Firmagon 120 mg is an artificial protein that aids in the reduction of certain hormones in our bodies, particularly testosterone, which promotes tumour growth. It inhibits the interaction of GnRH in the pituitary glands by inhibiting GnRH receptors, which affects luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and testosterone levels. Firmagon 120 mg is an injection administered beneath the skin in the area surrounding your stomach only under the guidance of a doctor. Do not attempt to self-inject the medication as this may increase the possibilities of an accident or getting injected into the veins. The dose and frequency of administration are determined by the purpose of the medication. Your doctor will determine how much treatment you require to alleviate your symptoms. You must take this medication for the duration advised to you.
It is not recommended that you use firmagon 120 mg Injection if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. If you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding, taking any medications, supplements, or herbal preparations, have any heart rhythm disorder or any heart disease, kidney or liver disease, an electrolyte imbalance, or a family or personal history of Long QT syndrome, you should consult your doctor before using it.
