Frequently asked questions

Bicalutamide should be taken at the same time every day, either in the morning or evening, as directed by your doctor.
Yes, hair loss is a common side effect of Bicalutamide, though it does not affect everyone. Consult your doctor if you are concerned about hair loss.

Bicalutamide should be taken continuously for at least 2 years or until the disease progresses. Do not discontinue use without consulting your doctor.
