Erleada is a prescription medication used to treat prostate cancer that is non-metastatic (has not spread to other parts of the body) and castration-resistant (keeps growing even when testosterone levels are decreased). 

Erleada belongs to a group of drugs called androgen receptor inhibitors. These work by blocking androgens, such as testosterone, which can promote growth of prostate cancer. 

This medication comes in tablet form and is taken once daily, with or without food. One single dose is equal to 4 Erleada tablets. 

Do not chew, divide, or break Erleada. Swallow Erleada whole.

Common side effects of Erleada include feeling very tired, high blood pressure, rash, diarrhea and nausea.
