Bical 50mg Tablet 10pcs
Bicalutamide is a non-steroidal androgen receptor inhibitor. It works by binding competitively to androgen receptors in target tissues, inhibiting the action of androgens. Prostatic carcinoma is androgen-sensitive, and Bicalutamide counteracts the effects of androgens, thereby slowing the growth of cancer or shrinking the tumor.
Bicalutamide (Bical) is indicated for use in combination therapy with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analog for the treatment of Stage D2 metastatic carcinoma of the prostate.

✔️ Prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the prostate gland, a small gland located beneath the bladder in men. The prostate gland produces seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperm. It is the most common type of cancer in men.
Symptoms:
- Difficulty urinating or weak urine flow
- Frequent urination, especially at night
- Blood in urine or semen
- Pain or discomfort in the pelvic area
- Erectile dysfunction
- Numbness or weakness in the legs (in advanced cases)
The exact cause of prostate cancer is unknown, but it may result from:
- Exposure to certain chemicals
- Family history of prostate cancer
- Genetic mutations
Several factors may increase the risk of developing prostate cancer:
- Men with a close relative (father, brother) who had prostate cancer are at higher risk.
- The risk increases significantly with age, especially after 50.
- Excess body weight is associated with aggressive prostate cancer.
- Inherited gene mutations, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, can increase risk.
Early detection is crucial for managing prostate cancer effectively. Routine screening for high-risk individuals, including a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test and a digital rectal exam (DRE), can help identify prostate cancer in its early stages. Always consult your doctor for personalized advice.
