The Enzyl 80mg capsule composition contains Enzalutamide as its active constituent, which blocks androgen receptors and slows the growth of cancer cells.

How it works
It 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.
