₨ 19,000
Casodex 50mg Tablet (Bicalutamide) is an anti-androgen medication used in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. It works by blocking the action of male hormones (androgens) like testosterone, which prostate cancer cells need to grow and spread. Doctors often prescribe Casodex in combination with other treatments, such as surgical or medical castration, to enhance therapy effectiveness.
Each tablet contains 50mg of Bicalutamide, providing a convenient once-daily oral treatment option. Casodex slows down tumor progression and reduces the risk of cancer spreading to other parts of the body.
You should take Casodex once daily at the same time, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. It is important to follow your oncologist’s prescribed dosage and not to adjust the dose without medical advice. Regular monitoring of liver function and PSA levels is essential during therapy.
Casodex may cause side effects like hot flashes, breast tenderness, fatigue, and gastrointestinal disturbances. Inform your doctor if you experience any unusual symptoms during treatment.
Store Casodex tablets at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. Keep the medication out of reach of children and pets.
