Enzumide Ingredients and Usage
Enzumide contains Enzalutamide, which belongs to a class of medicines known as androgen receptor inhibitors. It is primarily prescribed for the treatment of adult men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, a stage of cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and no longer responds to medical or surgical treatments that lower testosterone.
It is also indicated for the treatment of adult men with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, where the cancer has not spread but is no longer responding to hormone-lowering therapies. Your oncologist will determine if this medication is suitable for your specific stage of prostate cancer.
How Does Enzumide Work?
Enzalutamide works by blocking the activity of male hormones called androgens, such as testosterone. Androgens can stimulate prostate cancer cells to grow and multiply.
By binding to androgen receptors on the surface of cancer cells, Enzumide prevents these hormones from interacting with the cells. This action helps slow down the growth of the prostate cancer and can shrink the tumor.
