Hi, the drug which your taking is unlikely to be cause of your sweating. Prostrate cancer is a slowly growing cancer and can be managed effectively with treatment. Since there is no data regarding usage of herbal medicine in the literature nor any clinical trial being done using these drugs, I would not recommend you to take these drugs. Best thing for you would be to consult a oncologist and follow his treatment. Thank you
