Description:Bicalutamide is a hormone therapy. It is classified as an anti-androgen.It is a nonsteroidal anti-androgen with actions and uses similar to those of flutamide. Bicalutamide is used as an antihormonal agent in the treatment of metastatic prostatic carcinoma.In addition, bicalutamide is more selective for the peripheral androgen receptor and has less activity at the central androgen receptor on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.Bicalutamide competitively inhibits the action of androgens by binding to cytoplasmic androgen receptors, primarily in the prostate.
