Enzalutamide, explained simply
Written and reviewed by our pharmacist team. Informational only — your doctor directs your treatment.
Enzalutamide is the active ingredient in Xtandi®, an androgen receptor inhibitor used in prostate cancer. Generic enzalutamide contains the same active ingredient at the same strengths and is produced by licensed pharmaceutical manufacturers, typically far below the originator price. Used as prescribed by a licensed medical professional.
Xtandi® is the originator brand for enzalutamide, developed by Astellas and Pfizer. It is prescribed in the management of certain stages of prostate cancer. It is a prescription-only specialist medicine taken by mouth.
Enzalutamide is an androgen receptor inhibitor. It blocks the action of androgens (such as testosterone) that can drive the growth of prostate-cancer cells. It is used as part of a treatment plan directed by your oncologist or urologist.
Enzalutamide is prescribed for adult men with specific stages of prostate cancer, as determined by a specialist based on diagnosis and overall health.
Enzalutamide is usually taken once daily, with or without food, swallowed whole with water at about the same time each day. Your specialist sets the dose and may adjust it for side effects. Tell your doctor about all medicines you take, as interactions are possible.
Never change your dose on your own.
Reported side effects of enzalutamide may include tiredness, hot flushes, high blood pressure, headache, and, less commonly, seizures or falls. Report fainting or seizures promptly. Your specialist monitors blood pressure during treatment. This is not a complete list.
Report new or worsening symptoms to your doctor promptly. This is not a complete list — see the patient information leaflet.
Store as directed on the patient information leaflet, usually at room temperature away from moisture and out of reach of children. Always follow the storage guidance supplied with your medicine.
