About Enzilix 40mg Tablet

Enzilix 40mg Tablet 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.

Enzilix 40mg Tablet 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.
