What does it do?

Darolutamide belongs to the class of non-steroidal androgen receptor antagonists. It is primarily used to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in prostate cancer patients. This ingredient binds to the androgen receptors within cancer cells to block hormone signaling.

Darolutamide binds to the androgen receptors of prostate cancer cells, preventing the action of male hormones. As a result, signals for cancer cell growth and proliferation are blocked, slowing the progression of the cancer.
