What Is Firmagon Prescribed For?

Hi thanks. I do not have a problem. I am only reading to improve my knowledge. A friend has just informed me that he was unwell and has been placed on firmagon. I wanted to know what it is used for. It mentioned this issue hence I came about reading this topic. Once again thanks but I am only seeking knowledge at my leisure.
