FIRMAGON (Degarelix)-80mg
FIRMAGON (Degarelix) belongs to a class of drugs called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists. It works by stopping testosterone production.
An “antineoplastic”, Degarelix is used to treat patients with advanced hormone-dependent prostate cancer. Hormone dependent means that the cancer cells need a hormone in order to grow.
