Rexigo 120mg Tablet contains Relugolix, a medication specifically designed to treat advanced hormone-sensitive prostate cancer in adult men. This drug is part of a class of medicines known as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonists.

Its mechanism of action involves reducing the levels of testosterone in the body. Testosterone is a hormone that is known to fuel the growth and progression of prostate cancer cells. By effectively lowering the production of this hormone, Rexigo 120mg helps to slow down or even halt the spread of prostate cancer.

This therapeutic action can also lead to a reduction in symptoms commonly associated with the disease, such as difficulties with urination or pain. A significant advantage of this treatment is that it is taken orally, providing a convenient alternative to other methods of testosterone suppression, such as injections or surgical procedures

Rexigo 120 mg Tablet Uses :

Treatment of advanced hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

Rexigo 120mg Tablet operates by precisely targeting and blocking the GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) receptors located in the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain, is responsible for producing and releasing hormones that control other endocrine glands.

When GnRH receptors in the pituitary are blocked by Relugolix (the active ingredient in Rexigo), it directly reduces the release of two key hormones: luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). These two hormones are crucial because they signal the testicles to produce testosterone.

Consequently, this reduction in LH and FSH leads to a significant and rapid drop in testosterone levels in the bloodstream. Since prostate cancer cells often rely on testosterone to grow and multiply, lowering these hormone levels effectively helps to slow the progression of the disease and can even cause tumors to shrink. This mechanism offers a direct and efficient way to suppress the growth of hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

It is absolutely essential to have a comprehensive discussion with your doctor about all the medications you are currently taking. This includes not only prescription drugs but also over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Providing this complete list is crucial because certain drugs can interact negatively with Rexigo 120mg Tablet, potentially reducing its effectiveness or increasing the risk of undesirable side effects.

Specifically, medications that influence P-glycoprotein (P-gp) or CYP enzymes may have particular interactions with Relugolix, the active ingredient in Rexigo. P-gp is a transporter protein, and CYP enzymes are involved in drug metabolism, so drugs affecting these can alter how Relugolix is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted.

Furthermore, it is very important to avoid using Rexigo 120mg Tablet concurrently with drugs that are known to prolong QT intervals (a measure on an electrocardiogram that can indicate a risk of serious heart rhythm problems), unless your doctor has specifically advised otherwise and is closely monitoring you. Always ensure your doctor has a full picture of your current medication regimen to ensure your treatment with Rexigo is as safe and effective as possible.

You should take Rexigo 120mg tablet exactly as your physician advises. Typically, these tablets can be taken either with or without food.

It is crucial that you do not crush, chew, or open the medicine; swallow it whole. Your physician will determine the precise dosage and duration of your treatment, taking into account your age, body weight, and specific disease condition.
Remember, you should only stop taking the tablet if your doctor explicitly advises you to do so.
