CAPSULES INDICATIONS
The primary usage of Glenza 40mg Capsule is involved in the effective treatment of mCRPC (metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer), taken orally. The effect of anti-androgen viewing by obstruct the testosterone production by inhibiting androgen synthesis, the hormone which is require for cancer cell growth.Glenza 40mg is majorly used to treat prostate cancer in men.MECHANISM
An androgen which is a male hormone is used to develop prostate carcinoma. One of the major hormone secreted by testes and adrenal glands is known as testosterone. Glenza 40mg containing Enzalutamide will interfere with testosterone production, causes tumor cell growth depletion. Glenza 40mg capsule interfere with androgen receptor signaling transduction and leads to cancer cell lysisPHARMACOKINETICS
Absorption:After receiving 160mg of Glenza 40mg for mCRPC, from median time to attain peak plasma concentration time at 1 hour (variation with 0.5 to 3 hours). The steady state level of Glenza 40mg is accomplished by day 28 Food does not cause any alteration in absorption of Glenza 40mg Capsuless.
Distribution:
Volume of distribution 110L High plasma protein bounding capacity of Glenza 40mg Capsuless is occurs as 97% to 98%
Metabolism:
Two most prominent cytochrome isoenzymes are involved in metabolism of Glenza 40mg Capsuless; There are two isoenzymes i.e CYP2C8 & CYP3A4; in which CYP2C8 is vital for production of N-desmethyl Enzalutamide which is an active metabolite of Enzalutamide.
Excretion:
Glenza 40mg Capsuless undergoes excretion by hepatic metabolism Major route of elimination; 71% in urine; 14% in feces The terminal half life period of Glenza 40mg Capsuless is 5.8 days (range at 2.8 to 10.2 days); N-desmethyl Enzalutamide has half life period of relatively 7.8 to 8.6 days.
DOSAGE
DOSING CONDITIONS AND ADMINISTRATION
The usual prescribed dosage of Glenza 40mg is 160mg as a single dose by taking with or without food. Glenza is available in the strength of 40mg; four Capsuless of Glenza should be administered at a same time. Glenza 40mg Capsules should not crush, not chew taken with glass of water. Dose adjustment: In patients with ≥ grade III toxicity: Glenza 40mg therapy should be refuse for one week or the symptoms should be reduced to grade II, then restart with same dose or decreased to 80mg or 120mg Strong CYP2C8 inhibitors: While combining with Glenza 40mg Capsules, the dosage should be modified by reducing to 80mg as a single dose or avoid this combination. Strong CYP3A4 inducers: Co administration of Glenza 40mg with Strong CYP3A4 inducers, the dosage of Glenza Capsules increased up to 240mg or stop this combination.WARNING AND PRECAUTIONS
During the treatment with Glenza 40mg Capsuless, patient may suffer with some adverse effects like; Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome Seizures In PRES, some neurological disorders occur in patients. The condition can recovered by providing safety measures or discontinue the therapy as soon as possible. PRES is recognized by using MRI In seizures, Before starting the treatment patient must counsel about this adverse reaction and Stop the therapy if possible. Spermatogenesis occurs that may prohibit the male fertility leads to hypo spermatogenesis. In androgen decline the treatment, may have increase exposure of cardiovascular disease like worsening hypertension.DRUG INTEACTION
Glenza 40mg capsule combined with CYP2C8 strong inhibitors, causes elevation of plasma concentration time curve of Enzalutamide and its active metabolite. So avoid this combination, otherwise dosage of Glenza should be reduced to 80mg. Glenza 40mg with CYP2C8 strong inducers causes variation in plasma exposure of Glenza, to minimize this problem to avoid this concomitant. Co administration of Glenza 40mg Capsuless with strong inhibitors or CYP3A4, leads to elevate the AUC of Enzalutamide and its metabolite. CYP3A4 strong inducers example like; phenytoin, Phenobarbital, carbamazepine etc combines with Glenza Capsuless causes depletes the plasma exposure of Glenza 40mg. Moderate CYP3A4 inducers like Bosentan, efavirenz, modafinil, st Johns wort causes decreasing the plasma concentration of Glenza 40mg Capsules. Glenza Capsuless are strong CYP3A4 inducers and moderate CYP2C8 & CYP2C19. CYP3A4 strong inducers like Midazolam, CYP2C8 inducers like warfarin, & CYP2C19 inducers like Omeprazole with Glenza 40mg causes reducing the plasma risk of Midazolam, warfarin & Omeprazole.MISSED DOSE
Glenza 40mg is a chem. Drug, used in prostate cancer. Glenza 40mg Capsules should not be self medicated, used by the patients only after getting advice from the medical oncologist. If a single dose missed by patient, then must consult with the physician and follow the instructions as per the guidance of medical adviser, the missed dose should be taken within a time or avoid the missed dose and follow the regular schedule.CONTRAINDICATION
