ZELGOR 250MG TABLET is not recommended for use in pregnant and breastfeeding women since it is intended to be used only in male patients.

USES OF ZELGOR 250MG TABLET

With prednisone/prednisolone:

  • Treats prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body
  • Treats early stage of prostate cancer when used with androgen deprivation therapy (treatment that lowers testosterone hormone) in affected individuals

HOW ZELGOR 250MG TABLET WORKS

ZELGOR 250MG TABLET is an androgen biosynthesis inhibitor which works by inhibiting the production of 17α-hydroxylase (CYP17) enzyme needed to produce testosterone (male sex hormone) which enables the growth of cancer cells in the prostate gland. Since ZELGOR 250MG TABLET suppresses the production of testosterone, the cancer cells in the prostate gland won’t be able to grow thus preventing its effects on the gland in affected individuals.

Take ZELGOR 250MG TABLET as advised by your physician. Swallow the medicine with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the medicine. Avoid taking the medicine with food. Your doctor will decide the correct dose and duration for you depending upon your age, body weight and disease condition.
