How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Bicalutamide). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

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.

How the body breaks it down

The S (inactive) isomer is metabolized primarily by glucuronidation.

How it leaves the body

Both the parent and metabolite glucuronides are eliminated in the urine and feces.

With food

Co-administration of bicalutamide with food has no clinically significant effect on rate or extent of absorption.
