Bicalutamide is a prescription medicine belonging to a class of medicines called non-steroidal androgen receptor inhibitors.
Bicalutamide is used to treat prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic).
Bicalutamide is given in combination with another medicine called a luteinizing (LOO-tee-in-ize-ing) hormone-releasing hormone, or LHRH. LHRH helps prevent the testicles from producing testosterone.
