Apalutamide 60mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Apalutamide 60mg is an androgen-receptor inhibitor used alongside continuing testosterone-suppressing treatment for non-metastatic castration-resistant or metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.

How to use

Take with or without food at a consistent daily time. Swallow tablets whole. Maintain the planned GnRH treatment unless surgical castration has already been performed. A formulation-specific dispersion method may be needed for swallowing difficulty.

How it works

Apalutamide blocks androgen binding, receptor movement into the cell nucleus and androgen-driven gene transcription.

Side effects

Fatigue, rash, hot flushes, diarrhoea, hypertension, falls, fractures and hypothyroidism can occur. A seizure or severe skin reaction requires urgent attention.

Important information

Assess fracture risk, cardiovascular health and thyroid function. Apalutamide induces drug-metabolising enzymes and can reduce effectiveness of many medicines. Pregnancy exposure must be avoided.
