<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere are some severe adverse effects of Eligard to consider. Patients taking Eligard may have an increased risk of developing the following complications, particularly with long-term therapy:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Cardiovascular: chest pain, heart attack, arrhythmia, stroke<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Endocrine: diabetes and other metabolic disorders, pituitary gland dysfunction (rare), gynecomastia<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Neurological: seizure<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Psychiatric: mania, depression<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Skeletal: thinning of bones, fractures<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Genitourinary: infertility, testicular shrinkage<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Although patients with predisposing factors are at greater risk<\/span> of encountering the above issues, those who are otherwise healthy may also develop them during Eligard therapy. Many of these complications gradually develop. There will likely be signs before they truly become problematic, either as onsets of new symptoms or from blood work. Therefore, it is very important to be transparent and maintain regular communication with the doctor while on this treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nDiscontinuation of Eligard may be dependent on the severity of these potential adverse events. Eligard should not be used in patients who are allergic to any of its components.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t
