Erleada active ingredients

Erleada contains apalutamide, it is essentially an anti-androgen. It works in the body by stopping the effects of androgens (male hormones).

Apalutamide works in the body by blocking androgen receptors by binding to the androgen receptor itself. Apalutamide also stops an abnormality in the body where chromosomes within the nucleus break and reattach to other chromosomes, it also prevents DNA from binding, and slows the process whereby DNA is copied into RNA.

Apalutamide has been shown in animal studies to reduce the spread and growth of the tumor as well as to cause the death of the tumor cells, thereby helping to treat prostate cancer.
