Xtandi How to Take

Xtandi (Enzalutamide) belongs to the class of medications called antineoplastic endocrine therapies. Specifically, Xtandi (Enzalutamide) is an androgen receptor inhibitor. Xtandi (Enzalutamide) is used to treat Prostate Cancer. Androgens are male hormones and include testosterone. Prostate cancer cells require testosterone in order to grow and reproduce. Xtandi (Enzalutamide) blocks the action of male hormones such as testosterone that tell the cancer cells to grow. This slows the growth of prostate cancer.
