Flutamide Application Scope

EULEXIN is indicated for the treatment of prostate cancer. It can be used in combination with surgical or medical castration to block the effects of androgens, which promote tumor growth. In certain cases, it may also be used as monotherapy to manage disease progression. It functions as a non-steroidal anti-androgen, binding to androgen receptors and inhibiting the proliferation of androgen-dependent cancer cells. This therapy helps slow tumor growth, reduce symptoms, and improve patient outcomes in advanced or metastatic prostate cancer.
