Description


Uses

Cytomid (Flutamide) is classified as an antiandrogen. It treats prostate cancer by inhibiting the effects of testosterone and other androgens. These male hormones are known to contribute to the growth and proliferation of prostatic carcinoma. By acting to inhibit the uptake of these androgens and preventing testosterone from attaching to its receptors in the prostate gland, it is able to prevent the cancer cells from spreading. Usually, it is given alongside a type of hormone known as an LHRH (luteinizing hormone-releasing agonist).

Dosage and Administration

Cytomid (Flutamide) tablets are administered orally. Men who are treating prostate cancer may be instructed by their physician to administer 250mg (1 tablet) every 8 hours for a total of 3 doses per day. Patients may take the medicine either with or without food, however the tablets should be swallowed together with a glass of water. If you are being given an LHRH as part of your treatment, instructions relating to the dosage of this will be provided by your physician.
