Utamide Tablet

Product Introduction

Utamide Tablet is a prescription medicine primarily used in the treatment of prostate cancer. It works by blocking the action of male hormones (androgens) like testosterone, which are responsible for the growth and spread of prostate cancer cells. By inhibiting these hormones, the medicine helps slow down disease progression and improve overall quality of life for patients.

This medicine can also be prescribed for other hormone-related conditions as recommended by your doctor. Utamide Tablet should be taken at the same time every day, with or without food. For best results, follow your doctor’s dosage instructions carefully and continue the medication for the full course, even if symptoms improve.
