Calutide 50 Tablet

Product Overview

Calutide 50 Tablet is prescribed for managing prostate cancer. It may also be used for other medical conditions as determined by your healthcare provider. The medicine works by inhibiting the action of male hormones, such as testosterone, which can fuel the growth of prostate cancer cells.

The tablet can be taken with or without food, but it’s best to stick to a consistent schedule each day as advised by your doctor. The dose and frequency will depend on your medical condition and may be adjusted over time. It is essential to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Taking the medicine incorrectly or in excess could result in serious side effects. It may take weeks or even months before you notice improvements, so do not stop the treatment without consulting your doctor.

A commonly observed side effect is anemia, which is a reduction in red blood cells. Other serious symptoms like yellowing of the skin, decreased appetite, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, dark-colored urine, and skin rashes require immediate medical attention. Routine blood tests, including liver function assessments, will be necessary during treatment. Additionally, this medication can increase sensitivity to sunlight, so protective measures should be taken when outdoors.

Before starting this treatment, inform your doctor if you have diabetes, liver or kidney problems, or if you are on any medication for infections. Several drugs may interact with this medicine, so always disclose all medicines you are currently using. Calutide 50 Tablet is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding as it may harm the baby. Both male and female partners should use effective contraception while undergoing treatment. Monitoring blood sugar levels may also be advised during therapy.
