Most prostate cancer patients need the male hormone testosterone to grow, whereas testosterone is an androgen (a hormone) produced by the testes and adrenal glands.
Anti-androgen therapies work by blocking an enzyme necessary for the production of testosterone and that includes the active ingredient in Erleada.
Erleada will cause cancer cells to grow more slowly or stop growing completely due to a lack of Testosterone.
How to use:
Erleada drug is in the form of tablets, patients need to take 1 time per day.
When taking the drug, the patient needs to swallow the tablet whole, it can be taken before or after a meal.
If the patient has difficulty swallowing Erleada tablets, the patient can dissolve the drug with water to drink
Caution & Warnings:
Store your Erleada medicine in its original, labeled packaging at room temperature and in a dry place
