Calutide contains Bicalutamide, a non-steroidal anti-androgen used in the hormonal treatment of prostate cancer. Bicalutamide works by blocking androgen receptors, reducing the effect of male hormones such as testosterone on prostate cancer cells.

It is commonly used as part of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), particularly in combination with other hormonal treatments such as LHRH agonists or antagonists, depending on the prescribed treatment regimen.

What is Bicalutamide?

Bicalutamide is a non-steroidal androgen receptor antagonist. It competitively blocks the action of androgens at androgen receptors in prostate tissue and prostate cancer cells.

By reducing androgen signaling, Bicalutamide can help slow the growth and progression of androgen-dependent prostate cancer.

Calutide (Bicalutamide) may be prescribed for specific stages or types of prostate cancer according to the patient’s clinical condition and treatment protocol.

Benefits and Uses of Bicalutamide

Bicalutamide may be used for:

  • Treatment of prostate cancer
  • Blocking androgen receptor activity in prostate cancer cells
  • Use as part of androgen-deprivation therapy
  • Combination treatment with LHRH agonists or antagonists when clinically indicated
  • Helping reduce androgen-driven stimulation of prostate cancer

The exact treatment regimen depends on the stage of cancer, previous therapy, and the oncologist’s treatment plan.

Dosage Guidelines

The dosage of Bicalutamide depends on the indication and treatment regimen.

  • Take Calutide exactly as prescribed by the oncologist or physician.
  • It is generally taken orally once daily.
  • The tablet should be swallowed with water and can generally be taken with or without food.
  • Do not change the dose or discontinue treatment without medical advice.
