BIC Capsules 130mg contain Bicalutamide, an anti-androgen medication specifically formulated to block the effects of male hormones (androgens) on the prostate. By inhibiting androgen receptors, Bicalutamide reduces the growth and spread of prostate cancer cells. The 130mg dosage is carefully calibrated to provide effective therapeutic action while minimizing potential side effects.

Purpose

The primary purpose of BIC Capsules 130mg is to treat advanced prostate cancer. It is often prescribed in combination with other treatments, such as surgery or other hormone therapies, to enhance effectiveness. By reducing the action of male hormones that promote cancer cell growth, BIC Capsules help in managing symptoms and slowing disease progression.
