I am curious as to if ANYONE in UK has managed to get the LHRH antagonist Relugolix / Orgovyx for high risk Pca as a adjuvant hormone therapy. I know its now available in USA and EU but NICE being super slow as usual, its not approved on NHS probably for ages - but can it be prescribed privately through an oncologist at a much cheaper and reasonable cost than its headline cost as it is in the states and EU ?

I don't believe it's been put forward to NICE yet, which is up to the manufacturer.


I think it would still need approval by MHRA even for private use, but I'm not completely sure about that.


EDIT: I see it is already approved by MHRA for use in England, Wales, and Scotland, so it may be available privately.
