Nubeqa Overview

Reviewed: September 9, 2019
Updated: 

Nubeqa is a prescription medication used to treat prostate cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body and no longer responds to a medical or surgical treatment that lowers testosterone.

Nubeqa belongs to a group of drugs called androgen receptor inhibitors. These therapies work by blocking an enzyme necessary for the production of testosterone. Without testosterone, the cancer cells may either grow more slowly, or stop growing altogether.

This medication is available in tablet form to be taken twice daily with food. Swallow Nubeqa tablets whole. Do not crush or chew them.

Common side effects include tiredness, arm, leg, hand or foot pain, and rash.
