Enzamide 40 mg is a prescription drug for men with prostate cancer who stop responding to a hormone therapy or surgical treatment to decrease the levels of testosterone. It treats prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and responds to hormonal therapy or surgery to reduce the level of testosterone. It can also be given to treat cancer of the prostate that has not spread to other body parts and responds to a hormone treatment or surgery to lower testosterone, and who are more likely to develop cancer spreading to other body parts.
The active ingredient of the medicine is Enzalutamide, which acts by restricting the action of hormones called androgens (such as testosterone). By blocking the effects of androgen hormones, Enzalutamide ceases the growth of cancer cells and prevents them from dividing.

The recommended dose is 160 mg, which means four 40 mg soft capsules as a single oral daily dose. Your healthcare specialist may change your dose if required.
