Bicalutamide

Bicalutamide was first approved on Feb 23, 1995 in GB, then approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Oct 4, 1995, and approved by Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency of Japan (PMDA) on Mar 12, 1999. It was developed and marketed as Casodex® by AstraZeneca (AZ).

Bicalutamide is a non-steroidal androgen receptor inhibitor. It competitively inhibits the action of androgens by binding to cytosol androgen receptors in the target tissue. Casodex® 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. Casodex® 150 mg daily is not approved for use alone or with other treatments.

Casodex® is available as tablet for oral use, containing 50 mg of free Bicalutamide. The recommended adult dose is one 50 mg tablet once daily (morning or evening) in combination with an LHRH analog.
