FAQs:

What is Apatide 60mg Tablet used for?

Apatide 60mg Tablet is used to treat certain types of prostate cancer that are still growing even when testosterone levels are low (called castration-resistant prostate cancer), or that have spread to other parts of the body but are still sensitive to testosterone (called metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer). It helps slow down cancer growth and lowers the risk of it spreading further.

Can Apatide 60mg Tablet be used alone for prostate cancer treatment?

Your doctor may prescribe Apatide 60mg Tablet along with another treatment that lowers testosterone, such as surgery to remove the testicles, or medicines that block testosterone production.

Does Apatide 60mg Tablet affect bone strength or increase fracture risk?
