Flutide 250mg Tablet

Flutide 250mg tablet contains the active ingredient Flutamide, a non-steroidal antiandrogen. It is indicated for treatment of advanced prostate cancer in men, including cases where the cancer has spread to the bones of the back, hips, and pelvis. Flutamide may also be used following surgical removal of the testicles. The medicine is administered alongside other agents to reduce testosterone levels as part of androgen deprivation therapy, which combines radiation, surgical intervention, and hormonal treatment in high-risk patients. Androgen deprivation therapy substantially lowers testosterone levels. Since prostate cancer is androgen-sensitive, this approach targets both the source and effects of androgens.

Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any existing liver or kidney impairment, cardiac disorders such as arrhythmia, blood vessel conditions, osteoporosis, or respiratory conditions including breathlessness.
