Cytomid 250 mg Tablet

Cytomid 250 mg Tablet contains 250 mg of flutamide in each tablet. It is an antiandrogen medicine, which means it blocks the effects of male hormones (androgens) that can help certain prostate cancers grow. Doctors use Cytomid 250 mg Tablet as part of treatment for advanced prostate cancer, usually together with other cancer medicines or procedures. This is a prescription-only tablet from Cipla, India, supplied in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Flutamide in Cytomid 250 mg Tablet blocks androgen receptors, so testosterone-like hormones cannot signal cancer cells as well. By reducing that hormonal stimulation, the tablet helps slow the growth of hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

Cytomid 250 mg Tablet is a higher-strength flutamide tablet, so it is meant only for people whose doctor has specifically decided this dose is appropriate. Because each tablet already contains 250 mg, it is often chosen when a patient needs the standard flutamide tablet strength used in divided doses rather than a lower-strength option. It does not work instantly; the benefit builds as it is taken regularly under medical supervision.
