Pryor 60mg - Apalutamide Tablets

Pryor 60 mg contains Apalutamide, an androgen receptor inhibitor used to treat non-metastatic and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). It works by blocking the effects of androgens (male hormones) like testosterone, thereby slowing the growth of prostate cancer cells.

Description Product Details
General Information:
Generic Name: Apalutamide
Brand Name: Pryor
Packing: 60 Tablets
Strength: 60 mg
Manufacturer: BDR Pharmaceuticals Int'I Pvt. Ltd.
Form: Oral tablet
Category: Anti-androgen, Anti-Cancer Drug
Product Introduction:
Pryor 60 mg is a next-generation androgen receptor inhibitor designed to treat advanced prostate cancer. It effectively blocks testosterone-driven cancer cell growth, helping to slow disease progression and improve survival rates. It is commonly used in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
Uses of Pryor 60 mg
Pryor 60 mg is commonly prescribed for:
  1. Non-Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (nmCRPC) – Helps delay cancer spread in patients with high PSA levels.
  2. Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) – Treats advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to ADT.
  3. Metastatic Castration-Sensitive Prostate Cancer (mCSPC) – Used alongside ADT to control early metastatic prostate cancer.
  4. PSA Progression Control – Helps slow PSA doubling time, reducing the risk of metastasis.
  5. Delaying Chemotherapy – Used to delay the need for chemotherapy in prostate cancer patients.
How Pryor 60 mg Works (Mechanism of Action):
  1. Apalutamide blocks androgen receptors, preventing testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) from binding.
  2. Without testosterone stimulation, prostate cancer cells lose their growth signal and slow down.
  3. Unlike older anti-androgens, Apalutamide also prevents nuclear translocation, making it more effective than earlier treatments.
  4. This leads to slower disease progression, delayed metastasis, and improved survival.
