For patients and families

What is Bitamid 50mg?

Bitamid 50mg is a film-coated tablet made in Pakistan by Pharmasol, and each tablet contains 50 mg of bicalutamide. It is an anti-androgen. Prostate cancer cells use male hormones such as testosterone to grow, and this tablet blocks the hormone from reaching them.

What is it used for?

Doctors prescribe bicalutamide for men with advanced prostate cancer. The tablet works alongside a second hormone treatment that lowers the testosterone your body makes, either a regular injection such as Zoladex 3.6mg (goserelin) or surgery to remove the testicles. Your urologist or oncologist will explain which combination suits you.

How is it taken?

You take the tablet by mouth, once a day, at about the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow it whole with water. Your doctor or pharmacist explains how long to continue, and you should not stop because you feel well. Keep taking it even if the injection schedule changes, unless your doctor says otherwise.

Common side effects

• Hot flushes and sweating
• Breast swelling or tenderness
• Tiredness and weakness
• Constipation, nausea or loose stools
• Itchy or dry skin

Call your doctor straight away if your skin or eyes turn yellow, your urine looks very dark, you have new breathlessness or a dry cough that will not clear, or you notice swelling of the face or lips.
