G-Fluta 250mg Tablet (Flutamide) Pack

G-Fluta 250mg Tablet contains flutamide, an antiandrogen medication primarily used in the treatment of prostate cancer. This nonsteroidal antiandrogen works by blocking the effects of androgens (male hormones) in the body. G-Fluta offers an effective treatment option for advanced prostate cancer, often used in combination with other therapies.

How It Works

G-Fluta acts as a competitive antagonist at androgen receptors, blocking testosterone and dihydrotestosterone from binding to these receptors. This prevents androgen-dependent prostate cancer cells from receiving growth signals, thereby inhibiting tumor growth and progression.

Dosage

Take G-Fluta tablets with water at 8-hour intervals. Take with or without food. Maintain consistent timing for optimal effectiveness.

Duration of Action

G-Fluta begins working within hours of administration. Peak plasma concentrations occur within 2-3 hours. The medication must be taken continuously as prescribed. Cancer response typically becomes evident within 4-12 weeks of starting treatment.

Side Effects

Common side effects include hot flashes, breast tenderness, decreased libido, and impotence. Gastrointestinal effects like nausea, diarrhea, or loss of appetite may occur. Gynecomastia (breast enlargement) is frequent. Serious but rare side effects include liver toxicity.

Warning

G-Fluta may cause severe liver injury including hepatic necrosis and death. Regular liver function monitoring is essential. Discontinue immediately if jaundice, dark urine, fatigue, or abdominal pain develops. Not for use in women who are pregnant or may become pregnant.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

G-Fluta is contraindicated in pregnant women due to risk of fetal harm and feminization of male fetuses. Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception. Breastfeeding should be avoided during treatment as the drug may pass into breast milk.

Interaction

• Possible interaction with medications metabolized by CYP1A2
