Injection sites for Firmagon® (degarelix for injection)

PSA is a measure that may indicate that your prostate cancer has gotten worse. These results, which show a reduction of PSA, should be interpreted carefully. There is no proof that how quickly PSA drops has clinical benefit. Therefore, PSA level should not be seen on its own as evidence of the effectiveness of FIRMAGON.¹

FIRMAGON is given every 28 days¹

Month 1

The starting dose consists of
2 injections (120 mg each) that will quickly begin to suppress testosterone.

Month 2+

After that, you will receive a single, smaller (80 mg) injection every 28 days.
