You may be able to, but it depends on how well your diabetes is managed. Casodex has to be taken with a type of drug called an LHRH analog such as leuprolide acetate (Lupron, Eligard) or goserelin acetate (Zoladex). These drugs can cause high blood sugar levels, which can make your blood sugar harder to manage.
You might need to check your blood sugar more often while taking Casodex. If your blood sugar gets too high, your doctor may increase your dosage of diabetes medication. Or you might need extra medications to manage your blood sugar levels.
If you have diabetes and want to take Casodex, talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits.
