Description

What is Calutide 50 mg Tablet ?

Calutide 50 mg manufactured by Cipla contains “Bicalutamide” as active ingredient. This medicine comes in tablet form that you take by mouth. Do not share this oncology medicine with others for whom it was not prescribed. Healthcare professionals prescribe specific medicine for individuals based on personal medical histories and other health factors. A medicine that works for one person may cause harm — even death — to someone else, even if symptoms are similar.

When is Calutide 50 mg Tablet prescribed ?

Calutide is an antineoplastic hormonal agent primarily used in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer (cancer that has spread to other areas of the body) in men.

How Does Calutide (Bicalutamide) Tablet Work ?

Bicalutamide belongs to a group of medicines known as anti-androgens. This means that it blocks the effects of male hormones (androgens) such as testosterone. Prostate cancers are sensitive to testosterone and their growth is increased in the presence of this hormone. This is because testosterone binds to androgen receptors on the prostate cancer cells and causes changes within the cells that result in faster growth of the cancer.

Hormone treatments like Bicalutamide (Calutide) works by preventing testosterone from binding to the androgen receptors on the prostate cancer cells. It therefore starves prostate cancer cells of testosterone, which prevents them growing. Eventually the prostate tumour will shrink.
