What is Enzalutamide 160 mg?

Enzalutamide is a non-steroidal antiandrogen (NSAA) that blocks the effects of androgens (male hormones like testosterone) in prostate cancer cells. It binds to the androgen receptor, prevents its movement into the cell nucleus, and blocks DNA interaction—ultimately stopping cancer cell growth and survival.

Enzalutamide 160 mg tablets are approved for use in both chemotherapy-naïve and post-chemotherapy patients, depending on disease stage.

Enzalutamide 160 mg Uses

ENZULAMIDE 160 is used in the treatment of:

1. Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)

2. Non-metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (nmCRPC)

3. Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer (mHSPC) – in combination with hormone therapy

It is often used in patients who have progressed despite undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or surgical castration.

How Does Enzalutamide Work?

Enzalutamide works by:

• Blocking the androgen receptor on prostate cancer cells

• Inhibiting androgen receptor translocation into the cell nucleus

• Preventing DNA binding and subsequent cancer cell proliferation

This targeted approach helps slow down or even halt tumor growth.

Dosage and Administration

• Recommended Dose: 160 mg once daily (usually 4 x 40 mg tablets or one 160 mg tablet)

• Can be taken with or without food

• Do not crush or chew the tablets

Dosage may need adjustment in liver-impaired patients. Always follow your oncologist’s instructions.
