Bicalutamide is indicated for the treatment of stage D2 metastatic prostate cancer in combination with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogue. Bicalutamide blocks androgen receptors. This prevents testosterone and other androgens from binding to the receptors. The blockade of androgens receptors by bicalutamide in the brain will eliminate the negative feedback loop of testosterone on the release of luteinizing hormone (LH). This in turn will lead to a dramatic increase in testosterone and estrogen levels. The combination of Casodex and LHRH agonist or surgical castration can reduce the risks of excessive estrogen. Testosterone and estrogens are essential for normal bone metabolism. The reduction in the anabolic effects of testosterone and estrogens will increase bone loss and promote osteoporosis. Due to the popularity of the drug, it is easily available world over. Generic versions have also been introduced and you can easily buy Casodex online from our online pharmacy.
