Hi,

Firmagon causes weakness and tiredness one of its commonest side effects but as you have stage 4 prostate cancer you need to take this along with proper diet and healthy food. Do few suitable exercises and take proper nap.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Suman Saroj, Ayurveda Specialist
