BurdenA little hard to take
Dosage:
22.5 mg/3 months
Every 3 months
Advice & Tips:
Major negative side effects are fatigue and sexual dysfunction. Others include hot flushes,weight gain,loss of much body hair,increased risk of diabetes and osteoporosis. These effects have been a negative for me but generally manageable in my case. The addition of Casodex and Avodart have not increased these negative side effects for me.
