Safely Buy Nilandron ( Nilutamide ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.
Indications
Nilandron is a medication that contains the active ingredient nilutamide. Primarily used in the treatment of prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
Nilutamide belongs to a class of drugs known as anti-androgens, which work by blocking the effects of testosterone on cancer cells.
Use and Dosage
Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. If you are taking nilutamide after surgery, it’s usually started on the day of surgery or the day after. After 30 days of treatment, your doctor will usually decrease your dose.
The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. The length of treatment depends on how your body and the cancer respond to nilutamide and other treatments.
Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Do not stop any medications for your prostate cancer unless told to do so by your doctor. Stopping your medications could allow the cancer to spread more rapidly.
