Product Introduction
Bdenza 160mg tablet contains the active ingredient enzalutamide, an antineoplastic drug belonging to the class of androgen receptor inhibitors. It is used to treat advanced prostate cancer in patients who have not responded to surgical or hormonal treatments. Do not take this tablet if you are allergic to any of its ingredients.
During treatment, your doctor may periodically order prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests. This blood test measures PSA levels, a protein produced by the prostate gland that can be elevated in men with prostate cancer. PSA levels help monitor disease progression and treatment response. Additional monitoring may include liver function tests and complete blood count (CBC) to prevent serious complications.
This medicine can cause seizures. Patients with a history of seizures should exercise caution when taking this medication. Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment, as these can increase medication levels in the body.
Bdenza 160mg tablet is not recommended during pregnancy as it may harm the unborn baby and can cause fertility issues. Inform your doctor of any fertility concerns before starting treatment. If you are pregnant or planning to have a baby, tell your healthcare provider before beginning this treatment. Both men and women should follow proper contraceptive methods during treatment and for 3 months after the final dose of Bdenza 160mg tablet.

How it works
Bdenza tablet works by inhibiting 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 does 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.
