What is Prostaxen 60mg Tablet (Apalutamide)?

Prostaxen 60mg Tablet (Apalutamide) is an anti-cancer medicine containing apalutamide 60mg. It belongs to a group of medicines called androgen receptor inhibitors. Apalutamide works by blocking the effect of male hormones called androgens, which can help slow the growth of prostate cancer cells.

Prostaxen is used under the supervision of a qualified doctor for certain types of prostate cancer, including non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) and metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC).

Prostaxen 60mg Tablet Uses

Prostaxen 60mg may be prescribed for:

• Non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer

• Other prostate-cancer treatment plans when specifically prescribed by an oncologist

Apalutamide is an FDA-approved medicine for prostate cancer and is included among drugs used for prostate cancer treatment.

How Does Prostaxen 60mg Work?

Prostaxen contains apalutamide, which blocks androgen receptors in prostate cancer cells. Androgens such as testosterone can activate these receptors and support cancer-cell growth.
