Mistaken administration of a repeat loading dose of Degarelix leading to acute psychosis.

Advanced and metastatic prostate cancer is often managed with hormonal blockage. Luteinising hormone-releasing hormone antagonists achieve rapid testosterone suppression and are used for the treatment of advanced or metastatic prostate cancer. Degarelix is a luteinising hormone-releasing hormone antagonist and is given as a loading dose, followed by a monthly maintenance dose. We report a case where a patient was inadvertently given a second loading dose of Degarelix that resulted in acute psychosis in the form of panic attacks, delusions, suicidal thoughts, insomnia and some visual hallucinations, which are not reported as side-effects of Degarelix.
