Addressing a critical need in prostate cancer treatment, BDR Pharmaceuticals introduces BDENZA, world’s first oral solution in 32mg/mL designed for the management of prostate cancer. BDENZA will be available at Rs. 27,000 for 150mL. This innovative formulation marks a significant step forward in providing an effective dosage form, with lesser side effects in comparison to existing oral dosage forms of Enzalutamide. The Dose reduction owing to tolerability of the product by patients is a big advantage of this oral solution, as dose regimen can be adjusted based on the volume of consumption. This flexibility is absent in existing oral dosage forms of Enzalutamide.
Prostate cancer is a growing concern, with an estimated 1.2 million new cases diagnosed globally each year and an estimated 375,000 deaths, according to the WHO. Earlier it was the 8th most common cancer in males in the 1990s, but now it moved to 3rd place by 2015 in India. In India, a total of 37,416 cases of prostate cancer were reported in 2016. It was projected to increase to over 47,000 cases by 2025. Considering majority of the population suffering from prostate cancer is geriatric population, certain aspects like taking high dosage medication is difficult. Recognizing the significant challenge faced by Geriatric patients/ Old patients. BDR Pharmaceuticals introduced affordable alternative medication formulation.
Dr. Aravind Badiger Director, Technical Formulation, “Changing how we treat prostate cancer, BDENZA ORAL SOLUTION brings a mix of benefits to make things better for patients. It gives a strong 160mg dose in just one small 5ml serving, so there’s less hassle associated with lots of pills. Unlike fixed-dose tablets, doctors can adjust the dosage to fit each patient better. This oral solution is gentle on the stomach, avoiding issues like nausea. Plus, it is sugar-free and tastes good, making it easier for patients, especially those with taste changes or dietary limits, to stick with the treatment. In a nutshell, BDENZA ORAL SOLUTION is a simpler, more patient-friendly way to tackle prostate cancer. It can help improving the patient compliance to a great extent”.
