About Enzamide-80 Capsule

Enzamide-80 Capsule belongs to a group of medicines known as androgen receptor inhibitors. It is used to treat prostate cancer. Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific body part grow and reproduce uncontrollably. The cancerous cells can attack and destroy surrounding healthy tissue, including organs. Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that only occurs in men and affects the prostate gland, a tiny gland under the bladder that produces semen.

Enzamide-80 Capsule contains Enzalutamide, an androgen receptor blocker (inhibitor). Enzalutamide blocks testosterone from reaching prostate cancer cells. Most prostate cancers require testosterone to grow. This can slow the growth of the cancer and may shrink it.

Use this medicine as directed by your doctor. You may sometimes experience trouble breathing (pneumonia), weakness or feeling more tired than usual, back pain, diarrhoea, pain in your joints, swelling (in your hands, arms, legs or feet), muscle or bone pain, muscle weakness, headache, cold-like symptoms, dizziness, high blood pressure and trouble falling or staying asleep (insomnia). Most of these side effects may gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

Enzalutamide is only for use in men. Men using this Enzamide-80 Capsule must use effective birth control whenever they have sex during your treatment and for three months after their final dose. In rare cases, Enzamide-80 Capsule may cause seizures, so tell your doctor if you have or have ever had seizures. Because of the risk of seizure associated with Enzamide-80 Capsule use, patients should be advised of the risk of engaging in any activity where sudden loss of consciousness could cause serious harm to themselves or others. Consumption of alcohol is strictly avoided.

Medicinal Benefits

Enzamide-80 Capsule contains Enzalutamide, which belongs to a group of medicines known as androgen receptor inhibitors. Most prostate cancers require testosterone to grow. In men, the testicles produce the majority of testosterone. Adrenal glands (Just above each kidney) produce a small quantity of testosterone. Enzalutamide is preventing testosterone from reaching cancer cells in the prostate. This can inhibit the growth of the cancer and even cause it to shrink.
