Hot Flashes, Lupron, ADT

[mhorowit]

I had a single Lupron (ADT) injection to fight my prostate cancer two years ago. They mentioned I'd experience hot flashes, which I did. It's been more than two years, but the flashes continue. Anyone experience that? All doctors are in agreement that's too long, but no solutions yet. Your experience? - Mike

Are you taking a niacin type drug?

I'm taking drugs related to a heart condition.
Perhaps if you mentioned brand names of several I might be able to answer better - Mike

Niaspan, Niacor, Nicotinex, Slo-Niacin.

"Niacin, also called nicotinic acid, is a B vitamin (vitamin B3). It occurs naturally in plants and animals, and is also added to many foods as a vitamin supplement. It is also present in many multiple vitamins and nutritional supplements."

Thanks for the pointer, but no, not taking niacin. - Mike
