Casodex

[Rework24]

Anyone tried this or know if it can be bought as a topical?

' Derived from Flutamide, Casodex (also known as Bicalutamide) is considered to be one of the most potent anti-androgens around. It works by blocking androgen receptors so as to diminish and even eliminate the effect of androgens on the body. Originally developed as a medical treatment for prostate cancer, Casodex has come to be classified with some of today’s most widely used alternative medical hair loss treatments. '

Worth taking as a pill~?

Might be, although side effects might be even worse than flutamide. Just wondered whether there are any studies on the local effect?

side effects are far less serious than flutamide

I have looked at getting it but can't find any 'reputable' pharms that ship to UK!

Some people may have some of the following side effects:

Breast tenderness or fullness Many men may notice breast swelling and tenderness known as gynaecomastia. Your doctor can prescribe medicines or other treatments to reduce any discomfort.

Hot flushes These are usually mild and may wear off after a period of time. There are a number of ways to help reduce hot flushes and sweats. It can be useful to avoid or cut down on tea, coffee, nicotine and alcohol. Let your doctor know if hot flushes are causing you any problems, as recent research suggests that some treatments may be helpful in controlling this side effect.

Some men find that complementary therapies help. Your GP may be able to give you details about obtaining these on the NHS.

Itching and dryness of the skin This is usually mild. Let your doctor know if it is a problem for you. Sometimes creams or medicines can reduce this effect.

Nausea (feeling sick) If you experience any nausea it is usually mild and easily controlled. Nausea can sometimes be relieved by taking the tablet with food. Let your doctor know if you have any nausea, as they can prescribe medicines to help.

Lowered sex drive (libido) and erection difficulties (impotence) This will usually return to normal after stopping the drug. Your doctor or nurse can discuss this with you.
