Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Orgovyx (relugolix) is a prescription medication for men used to treat advanced prostate cancer. It belongs to a class of drugs called GnRH receptor antagonists, which work by lowering testosterone levels that promote the growth of prostate cancer cells. Unlike many other hormone treatments that require injections, Orgovyx is taken as an oral tablet.

Before taking this medication, you may want to consult a healthcare provider about the following:
Orgovyx is a treatment that lowers testosterone, which may cause changes in heart rhythm. Your doctor may monitor your heart, especially if you already take medications that affect heart rhythm.
Some people may have allergic reactions to Orgovyx, including swelling of the face, lips, or throat (angioedema). Stop taking it and seek medical care right away if this happens.
Orgovyx can harm an unborn baby. Men with female partners who can become pregnant should use reliable birth control during treatment.
Avoid taking this medication if there’s a known hypersensitivity or allergy to any ingredients.
The most common side effects of Orgovyx are hot flashes, muscle or joint pain, constipation, diarrhea, and feeling more tired than usual. Some people may also see changes in blood tests, including higher blood sugar or triglyceride levels, or lower hemoglobin, which measures red blood cells.
Orgovyx can also raise certain liver enzymes (ALT and AST), which may show stress or irritation in the liver. These changes are usually tracked with routine blood tests. Anyone who has side effects that are severe or don’t go away should talk with their healthcare provider.
