Bicalutamide tablet
What is this medicine?
Bicalutamide is a prescription medicine used to treat prostate cancer. It is used in combination with other medicines called luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists or antagonists. LHRH agonists and antagonists lower testosterone levels in the body, which can help to slow the growth of prostate cancer.
Bicalutamide works by blocking the effects of testosterone on prostate cancer cells.
