How does Casodex work?
The Bicalutamide in Casodex is an anti-androgen that works by blocking the effects of the male hormone testosterone. Prostate cancer growth is boosted when this testosterone attaches itself to the androgen receptors on the prostate cancer cells. But by blocking testosterone from binding to these androgen receptors, Casodex effectively starves the cancer cells of nutrition and growth, allowing the body to fight against the cancer. This helps in speeding up treatment and recovery.
