Apnat 60 mg (Apalutamide)
Apnat 60 mg contains apalutamide, an androgen receptor inhibitor used in the treatment of prostate cancer. It is prescribed for non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) and metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). Apalutamide works by blocking the action of male hormones (androgens) that promote prostate cancer cell growth.
Apnat 60 mg is used together with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and requires ongoing specialist supervision, laboratory monitoring and assessment of fracture and cardiovascular risk.
Product introduction
Apalutamide is a next-generation androgen receptor (AR) antagonist that binds directly to the receptor and prevents androgen-mediated cancer cell signalling. Unlike older therapies, it has improved potency and reduced risk of seizures compared to some alternatives.
It is taken orally, typically as multiple 60 mg tablets per day, depending on the physician’s prescribed total dose. Treatment helps delay metastasis, reduce tumour progression and prolong survival in eligible patients.
Uses of Apnat 60 mg (Apalutamide)
Apnat 60 mg is commonly prescribed for:
- Non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC)
- Metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC)
- Patients who are already on androgen deprivation therapy (surgical or medical castration)
Note: Apalutamide is not used for prostate cancer that has progressed on several prior AR pathway inhibitors without specialist recommendation.
Benefits of Apnat 60 mg (Apalutamide)
Key clinical benefits include:
- Delays disease progression in both nmCRPC and mCSPC
- Reduces risk of metastasis in high-risk patients
- Improves overall survival according to multiple trials
- Oral once-daily therapy with convenient dosing
- Works synergistically with androgen deprivation therapy

How to use Apnat 60 mg (Apalutamide)
- Follow your oncologist’s instructions exactly.
- Standard dose: 240 mg once daily (usually 4 tablets of 60 mg).
- Take with or without food.
- Swallow tablets whole with water.
- Continue androgen deprivation therapy (LHRH agonist/antagonist) during treatment.
- Do not stop treatment without medical advice.
Regular blood tests for liver function, thyroid levels, bone density evaluation and hypertension monitoring are part of routine care.
How Apnat 60 mg works
Apalutamide blocks androgen receptors in prostate cancer cells, preventing testosterone- and DHT-driven growth signals. This halts cancer cell proliferation and slows disease progression.
Safety advice
| Heart disease | Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular conditions; blood pressure must be monitored. |
| Bone health | Apalutamide may increase risk of fractures — calcium, vitamin D and bone scans may be recommended. |
| Liver disease | Monitor LFTs regularly; dose adjustment may be required. |
| Thyroid function | Hypothyroidism can occur — thyroid levels should be checked periodically. |
| Pregnancy | Not for use in women; may cause fetal harm. |
| Drug interactions | May interact with CYP inducers/inhibitors. Provide your doctor with a full medication list. |
What if you forget a dose?
- Take it as soon as you remember on the same day.
- If you miss it for the entire day, skip and resume the next day.
- Do not double the dose.
All substitutes
Alternatives depend on cancer stage and prior therapy:
- Enzalutamide
- Darolutamide
- Abiraterone + Prednisone
- Docetaxel (chemotherapy)
- Older antiandrogens (bicalutamide — limited modern use)
Quick tips
- Continue ADT during treatment.
- Monitor blood pressure regularly.
- Stay physically active to reduce fall/fracture risk.
- Notify your doctor for new rashes or neurological symptoms.
- Do not stop therapy even if you feel better.
