I have been taking Casodex for a number of months. I have experienced many of the side effects indicated including tenderness in my neck and aches in my shoulders I have recently been diagnosed with acid reflux and a small duedinal ulcer through an endoscopy procedure. I have been prescribed Omeprazole 20mg by Sandoz which I have taken for two weeks. Since taking these tablets in conjunction with Casodex I now get a dry acid throat with which I have a cough. Is this normal and is there any way to alleviate this very uncomfortable feeling? ## Hello, Jeff! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problems you've been experiencing. Those actually sound like symptoms from the acid reflux and they should improve, as your condition improves. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Omep...

This Is A Gerneric For Casodex 50mg I Use For Prostrat Cancer Is It The Same ## Hello, Did you mean to say Bicalutamide, the active ingredient in Casodex? If so, then the generic you have is the same except for the fact that it might not be as strong as the brand name variety. The reason being, if a medication is in generic form, it is permitted by the FDA to be allowed to contain as much as 20% more or less of the actual active ingredient. Also, depending on the manufacturer- the binders and fillers (inactive ingredients) used could be different. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Casodex Details I hope I have helped to answer your question!

My husband first took 45 mg Lupron injection and decided not take but three bacalutamide pills to ease hot flashes because didn't like contraindications. His energy levels are low. Is that possibly from the lupron? Are the bicalutamide pills going to give more energy? Should he be taking them for for better antiandrogen results? ## It is a very important medication in the treatment of his cancer, since it is an antiandrogen. His results really aren't going to improve, without it. Has he spoken to his doctor about it? What contraindications did he find so concerning? When battling cancer, it is normal for his energy levels to be low, so that may not change for awhile, even with the treatments.

What Is The Side Effects Of This Medication & Can I Take In Place Of Casodex ## Hello Dave Hughes, Some side effects of Casodex may include but are not limited to the following: reproductive system and breast disorders, breast tenderness, gynaecomastia, hot flushes, gastrointestinal disorders, diarrhoea, nausea, hepatic changes (elevated levels of transaminases, jaundice), asthenia and pruritus. To answer your next question; if you're talking about Bicalutamide, the active ingredient in Casodex, then yes you could take it instead if you want. However, it would most likely be the generic version. I can't remember if I told you this in my last reply, but the FDA permits generic formulas to contain up to 20% more or less of the actual active ingredients. This factor, along with...
