Storage and disposal

Store this medicine at room temperature between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. Keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly closed. Keep it out of reach and sight of children.

Quick Tips

Dosage

Overdose

If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

How does this medicine work?

This medicine works by blocking the action of male hormones such as testosterone at specific receptor sites in the body. Reducing this hormone activity slows the growth and spread of prostate cancer cells when flutamide is used together with other hormone therapy.

In particular, tell your doctor if you are taking blood thinners like warfarin, as this medicine may increase the blood-thinning effect and raise your risk of bleeding. Your doctor may need to monitor your blood clotting times.

Interactions with food items

No significant interactions with food.
