AT YOUR FIRMAGON® INJECTION APPOINTMENT

How will FIRMAGON be given?

FIRMAGON is given at a doctor's office as a deep subcutaneous (below the skin) injection into your abdomen every 28 days.1

During your injection, tell your doctor if you have any of these symptoms: trouble breathing or wheezing, severe itching, or swelling of your face, lips, mouth, or tongue.

You should receive an injection of FIRMAGON every 28 days (every 4 weeks) to help keep your testosterone and PSA levels low1*
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+
