REVIEW
 Flutamide is an oral, non-steroidal antiandrogen drug primarily used to treat prostate cancer. It competes with both endogenous and exogenous testosterone and its powerful metabolite, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) for binding to androgen receptors in the prostate gland. By doing so, it prevents them from stimulating the prostate cancer cells to grow. Flutamide may also be used to treat excess androgen levels in women - especially those with PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). In addition Flutamide is a potent inhibitor of testosterone-stimulated prostatic DNA synthesis. Moreover, it is capable of inhibiting prostatic nuclear uptake of androgen.
