Medicine Description cytomid 250mg
Cytomid 250 mg 100 tablets is a medication that contains flutamide, a non-steroidal anti-androgen agent. Flutamide works by blocking the effects of androgens, which are hormones that can promote the growth of prostate cancer cells. By interfering with the androgen receptor, flutamide inhibits the action of testosterone and other androgens, ultimately slowing down the proliferation of cancerous cells within the prostate. This mechanism helps in managing prostate cancer by reducing tumor growth and spreading, making it a crucial component of androgen deprivation therapy.
