Flutamid (Flutamide) Tablets 250 mg. №84

Ingredients:

Each tablet contains 250 mg of Flutamide as the active ingredient.

Mechanism of Action:

Flutamide, the active ingredient in Flutamid tablets, is a nonsteroidal antiandrogen that competitively inhibits the action of androgens. By blocking the effects of testosterone on the prostate cells, Flutamide effectively treats prostate cancer.

Pharmacological Properties:

Flutamide acts as an androgen receptor antagonist, preventing the binding of dihydrotestosterone to androgen receptors in the prostate gland. This action inhibits the growth of prostate cancer cells.

Indications for Use:

Flutamid tablets are specifically indicated for the treatment of prostate cancer in adult males.

Contraindications:

Avoid using Flutamid if you are known to be allergic to Flutamide or if you have a history of severe liver disease. Caution is advised in patients with hepatic impairment.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of Flutamid tablets include gastrointestinal disturbances, liver function abnormalities, and potential allergic reactions. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience severe or persistent side effects.

Usage Instructions:

The typical dosage regimen involves taking 2 tablets (500 mg) of Flutamid daily, divided into two doses. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully and do not exceed the prescribed dose.

Benefits Compared to Analogues:

Compared to other antiandrogen medications, Flutamid has shown efficacy in improving overall survival rates in patients with advanced prostate cancer when used in combination with standard therapies.

Suitable Patient Groups:

Flutamid tablets are intended for adult male patients diagnosed with prostate cancer. Dosage adjustments may be necessary for elderly individuals or those with compromised liver function.
