lupron eligard and finasteride together

I used Avodart in the form of Jalyn (combined with Flomax) and Lipton/Eligard for three years as the ADT portion of my treatment. You would not use Lipton and Eligard at the same time as they do the same thing.

sorry.. man I'm dumb.. forget Lupron..I meant I got my eligard shot today from URO and she offered me finasteride. She didn't seem like there would be a problem.. I already take flomax. Ed

Finasteride doesn't hold a candle to Eligard as far as shrinking your prostate goes. Sounds like overkill to me.

I am on my second 3 month Lupron shot and have been on Finasteride for 22 years. I had no side effects from Finasteride. The trouble with finasteride is my urologist and oncologist don't want me to stop taking it. They were worried my PSA will go up or do something "crazy". It will reduce your prostate size and might help with your BPH. It certainly won't be anything compared to your 6 month Eligard shot. Good Luck!
