Product Description
Flutamide is a nonsteroidal antiandrogen that competitively binds androgen receptors throughout the body. This binding inhibits cell growth in prostate cancer by inhibiting testosterone’s stimulatory effects. The drug has a half-life of 6 hours, meaning dosing will have to occur a minimum of 3 times a day to maintain adequate serum levels. Flutamide is used in the management and treatment of androgen-dependent tumors like prostate cancer and conditions associated with hyperandrogenism like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). It is a prototypical drug of the anti-androgen class of medications. (Sourced from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK482215/)
