Bicalutamide 50mg Tablets 28’s

Prostate cancer growth is often stimulated by the male hormone testosterone. Bicalutamide works by blocking the action of testosterone, which helps slow down the growth and spread of prostate cancer cells.

Bicalutamide is typically taken orally in the form of tablets. It may be used alone or in combination with other medications or treatments, such as surgery or radiation therapy, depending on the stage and severity of the prostate cancer.

Common side effects of bicalutamide may include hot flashes, breast tenderness or enlargement, decreased libido (sex drive), and gastrointestinal disturbances. In rare cases, it may cause liver problems or lung disease.

Bicalutamide is prescribed and managed by healthcare professionals, typically oncologists or urologists, who will determine the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment based on individual factors such as the stage of prostate cancer, overall health, and other medications being taken.

As with any medication, it’s important to inform your healthcare provider about any other medical conditions you have and any other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter and herbal supplements, to prevent potential interactions or complications. Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments are typically recommended during treatment with bicalutamide.
