Uses of Xelucip Tablet
Benefits of Xelucip Tablet
In Treatment of Advanced Prostate cancer
Prostate gland is a small walnut-sized gland that produces a fluid called seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperms in males. The most common symptom of prostate cancer is difficulty with urination, but sometimes there are no symptoms at all. Xelucip Tablet suppresses the production of testosterone, a hormone that fuels the growth of prostate cancer cells. Reducing testosterone levels helps to shrink tumors and slow the progression of prostate cancer. This also relieves difficulty in passing urine and makes it easier for the patient to urinate.
