Oral medicines used in some prostate cancers

Some prostate-cancer treatments are tablets that affect hormone signalling. A prescription may be part of a wider plan that includes injections, monitoring and other treatments.

This page helps patients and caregivers understand a prescription. It is not medical advice and does not recommend a treatment.

In simple terms

Keep the current treatment plan and the names of any other cancer medicines together. A caregiver should not start, stop or substitute a medicine based on a similar-looking name or an earlier prescription.
