Medicine Description casodex-uae 50 mg
casodex 50mg 28 tablets - rosheta uae is a medication that functions as a non-steroidal anti-androgen. Its primary action is to inhibit the androgen receptors located in prostate tissues, leading to a reduction in the growth-promoting effects of androgens such as testosterone. Bicalutamide binds competitively to these receptors, preventing androgens from exerting their effects on cancer cell proliferation. This blockade results in decreased tumor growth and progression in androgen-sensitive prostate cancer.
