How frequently will the patient need to visit the doctor after Viadur is implanted?
While Viadur eliminates the need for doctor s office visits solely to administer hormone treatment, it is still important for patients to meet with their doctor regularly to determine treatment effectiveness and run various tests at different times over the course of the year, which may include the prostate specific antigen test (PSA) and digital rectal examination. The doctor will be able to advise the patient on the frequency of visits based on the patient s treatment needs.
