Each person's reaction to any medicine is different. Many people have very few side effects with Prostap while others may experience more. Most of the side effects of Prostap occur because of a change in hormone levels. We have outlined the most common side effects. However, not included are those that are very rare and therefore unlikely to affect you. If you notice any effects that you think may be due to the drug, but which are not listed in this information, you should discuss these with your doctor or nurse.
You will probably see your doctor regularly while you have this treatment so that they can monitor the effects. This information should help you to discuss any queries about your treatment and its side effects with your doctor or nurse, as they are in the best position to help and advise you.
Some people may have some of the following side effects:
Tumour flare There may be a temporary increase in testosterone levels for the first few days or weeks after starting leuprorelin. Some men may have an increase in symptoms such as bone pain, or have problems passing urine. Rarely, other problems due to a temporary increase in the size of the tumour may occur. This is known as tumour flare. If you experience any problems, you will need to let your doctor know. Other types of hormonal therapy drugs such as cyproterone acetate, flutamide or bicalutamide may be given for the first few weeks after starting Prostap to prevent tumour flare from occurring.
Hot flushes These can be quite common but many people find that hot flushes wear off after a period of time. There are a number of ways to help reduce hot flushes and sweats. It can be useful to avoid or cut down on tea, coffee, nicotine and alcohol. Let your doctor know if hot flushes are causing you any problems, as recent research suggests that progestogen or some anti-depressants may be helpful in controlling this side effect. Your nurse or doctor can discuss this with you.
Some men find that complementary therapies help. Your GP may be able to give you details about obtaining these on the NHS.
Impotence There is sometimes a loss of the ability to have an erection. This usually continues for as long as the treatment is given, but will return to normal after stopping the drug. You might find it helpful to discuss this with your doctor or nurse, who may be able to refer you for specialist help if you wish.
Loss of libido (sex drive) You may experience a lowering of your sex drive whilst having treatment with Prostap. The lowered sex drive normally continues for as long as the treatment is given. Your doctor or nurse can discuss this with you.
Breast tenderness or fullness Men may sometimes notice slight breast swelling or tenderness known as gynaecomastia. Your doctor should be able to prescribe medicines to reduce any discomfort.
Weight gain You may notice that you gain a few pounds in weight. This usually decreases again if the Prostap treatment is stopped.
Tiredness and fatigue You may find that you have less energy than usual. This should wear off after you finish Prostap treatment.
Nausea (feeling sick), vomiting and diarrhoea Nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea are rare effects. They are usually mild and easy to control. Let your doctor know if you have any of these side effects as medicines can be prescribed to help.
Headaches Some people find that Prostap causes headaches. These are usually mild and easily controlled by medicines.
Change in blood-sugar levels If you are diabetic, your blood-sugar levels may be slightly higher than usual and may need more regular monitoring. Your GP or diabetes doctor should be able to help you to manage this. Your blood-sugar levels should return to normal after you finish treatment with leuproprelin.

Erectile Dysfunction can be devastating to men, and unfortunately, millions of men suffer from the condition. Learn how to cure erectile dysfunction https://tr.im/TgktX

If you go to the doctor to talk about the issue, you’re likely to get put on one or more of the popular medications used to treat the condition. While they can be effective (temporarily), these medications come with a raft of side effects, some of which are decidedly unpleasant. Even worse, these medications aren’t really a cure, they’re more like a temporary workaround.

Worst of all, they tend to be really expensive. Month after month, you’re having to pay to work around your condition. That’s what the Big Pharmaceutical companies want.
