Bdenza 80mg Capsule consists of the active substance Enzalutamide. It is an anti-cancer drug that belongs to the class of medicines called Androgen Receptor Inhibitors. It is used in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer in patients who do not respond to surgical or hormonal treatments.
Prostate cancer is sensitive to androgen and hence, this treatment aims to counteract the source and effect of androgen. Contact your physician instantly if you experience allergies, heart problems, falls, fractures or seizures.
Uses of Bdenza 80mg Capsule:
- Treatment of prostate cancer in adult men who have not responded satisfactorily to other anti cancer treatments.
How Bdenza 80mg Capsule Works:
Bdenza 80mg Capsule inhibits the active form of testosterone, called dihydrotestosterone. It selectively blocks the androgen receptors and disrupts the translocation of signals from the receptor to the cell. Thus, the androgen hormone do not bind to the androgen receptors and these androgen receptors do not interact with DNA. This blocks the functioning of cancer cells and reduces its multiplication.
Interaction with other drugs:
Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking or have taken before the treatment.
