Zaluta Tablet 40 mg contains Enzalutamide, an oral androgen receptor inhibitor used in the treatment of prostate cancer. It works by blocking the effects of male hormones (androgens) that promote the growth of prostate cancer cells. This targeted therapy helps slow disease progression and improve survival outcomes in patients with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer.

Mechanism of Action

Enzalutamide is an androgen receptor inhibitor that works by:
