Castramid Tablet includes Bicalutamide, an anticancer medication used to treat prostate cancer. Castramid Tablet acts by blocking the actions of androgens (male hormones) like testosterone, which promote the development of prostate cancer cells. Castramid Tablet blocks testosterone from attaching to androgen receptors on prostate cancer cells, hence depriving the cancer cells of testosterone. As a result, it inhibits the proliferation of prostate cancer cells, gradually shrinking the prostate tumour. Castramid Tablet also helps with urinary problems. Castramid Tablet can be used with radiation treatment to treat prostate cancer that has progressed from the prostate gland to the surrounding tissues.
