Bicalutamide is a nonsteroidal antiandrogen medication, chemically known as N-[4-cyano-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-(4-fluorobenzenesulfonyl)-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanamide, used primarily for the treatment of Stage D2 metastatic carcinoma of the prostate. It works by competitively binding to androgen receptors, thereby blocking the action of androgens that stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells. Bicalutamide is usually taken once a day, either in the morning or evening, and is often prescribed in combination with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist such as goserelin.
Common side effects of bicalutamide may include hot flashes, body pain, weakness, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, infection, swelling in limbs, shortness of breath, dizziness, increased night-time urination, and a decrease in red blood cells (anemia). More serious side effects can include severe allergic reactions, liver damage, and interstitial lung disease. Bicalutamide can also cause breast pain or swelling and may affect fertility.
It is important to note that bicalutamide is not for use by women or children as it can cause birth defects if a woman takes it during pregnancy. Men taking bicalutamide should use effective birth control to prevent pregnancy and continue to do so for at least 130 days after their last dose. The drug is typically supplied as a 50 mg oral tablet and should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.
