About Bicatero 50Mg Tablets

Bicalutamide 50 mg is a prescription medication classified as a non-steroidal androgen receptor inhibitor. It is used to treat metastatic prostate cancer, which means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.

Bicalutamide is administered alongside a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analog. LHRH helps prevent the testicles from producing testosterone.
