How Long Does Bicalutamide Remain In The System?

How long does Bicalutamide 50 mg which was prescribed in June to my husband, along with an injection of Luperon, remain active in the body? He has had 5 weeks of radiation and recently had seeds implanted. His hormone therapy will continue. Just curious how long the first one remains active.

Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, the therapeutic levels diminish with days but complete excretion can take weeks between 2-6 to flush it completely however levels aren't enough to contaminate.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
