Casodex (Bicalutamide) is an anti-androgen medication used in the treatment of prostate cancer. It works by blocking the effects of androgens (male hormones) in the body, which can slow the growth of prostate cancer cells. Casodex is often prescribed in combination with other treatments, such as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists, to enhance effectiveness. It is available in tablet form and is typically taken once daily, with or without food. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential to assess treatment progress and manage potential side effects.
