Introduction

Enzalutamide 160 mg is a prescription medication primarily used in the treatment of prostate cancer, especially in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and medications like ENZULAMIDE 160 play a critical role in slowing disease progression, reducing tumor growth, and improving survival rates.zENZULAMIDE 160 mg tablets are designed to block androgen receptors, which are essential for prostate cancer cells to grow. By inhibiting these receptors, the medicine helps control cancer growth and improve quality of life for patients.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Enzalutamide 160 mg

• Dosage Form: Tablet

• Brand Name: ENZULAMIDE 160

• Manufacturer: Steris Healthcare

Each tablet is formulated to ensure consistent, reliable delivery of the active drug, enhancing effectiveness and patient compliance.

Mechanism of Action

Enzalutamide acts as a potent androgen receptor inhibitor, targeting prostate cancer cells at multiple levels:

1. Prevents androgen binding – Stops testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) from activating androgen receptors.

2. Inhibits receptor translocation – Prevents activated androgen receptors from entering the nucleus.

3. Suppresses DNA binding – Stops androgen receptors from promoting gene transcription that drives tumor growth.

4. Induces apoptosis – Promotes programmed cell death in prostate cancer cells.

This multi-step inhibition makes ENZULAMIDE 160 a highly effective option for patients resistant to conventional hormonal therapies.
