Bicalutamide is a form of hormone therapy called an anti-androgen. It comes as 50mg and 150mg tablets. The brand name of the drug is Casodex. Bicalutamide slows down the growth of prostate cancer cells by reducing the amount of testosterone that reaches the cells. Most prostate cancer cells need testosterone to grow and spread.
