How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Eulexin). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
General In animal studies, flutamide demonstrates potent antiandrogenic effects.
It exerts its antiandrogenic action by inhibiting androgen uptake and/or by inhibiting nuclear binding of androgen in target tissues or both.
The composition of plasma radioactivity, following a single 200 mg oral dose of tritium-labeled Eulexin ® to normal adult volunteers, showed that Eulexin ® is rapidly and extensively metabolized, with Eulexin ® comprising only 2.5% of plasma radioactivity 1 hour after administration.
Eulexin ® and its metabolites are excreted mainly in the urine with only 4.2% of a single dose excreted in the feces over 72 hours.
Food has no effect on the bioavailability of flutamide.

WARNINGS Hepatic Injury There have been postmarketing reports of hospitalization and rarely death due to liver failure in patients taking Eulexin ®.
