Can you take OFEV if you are having Leuprolide Acetate inj's.? ## Hi Steve, From what I could gather, there are no drug interactions listed between OFEV (nintedanib) and Leuprolide Acetate. So based off this information alone, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use the two together unless instructed otherwise by your doctor. I also think it would be wise to inform your doctor of any new medication you intend on using along with whatever he/she prescribes you. This way there's an open line of communication in case something does happen (god forbid). I hope this helps!

following exterrnal beam radiation, and seed implant, how long can or should a patient continue the eligard injections? are there benefits for continued use? I am currently receiving a 45 mg dose, every 6 months. ## It has been shown that continued therapeutic doses will continue to inhibit the gonadatropin secretion. Learn more Leuprolide details here. As to how long you need to continue, that is something you should discuss with your doctor, I really don't have any specific information on that. Have they said anything about it?
