Is Restarting Of Casodex Advisable After Stopping It?

Posted on Tue, 6 Oct 2015

Question: I stop taking casadex for eight days. I stop because of the hot flashes. My psa is 0.01. I have been taking the 3 month shot of Lupron for a year and a half and just got till May to stop it and casadex. I think I should continue the casadex again. Will there be any problems starting up again after stopping so quickly?

Brief Answer:
Problems unlikely to occur on restarting the medication

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through the details. I do not think that you would face any problems if you start Casadex back again shortly after having stopped taking it.

Let me know if I could be of further help.

Regards
