USE IN ADULT MALES WITH RENAL IMPAIRMENT
No dosage adjustment is necessary for patients with renal impairment.
USE IN ADULT MALES WITH HEPATIC IMPAIRMENT
No dosage adjustment is necessary for patients with mild hepatic
impairment. Increased
accumulation
may
occur
in
patients
with
moderate
to
severe
hepatic
impairment
(see
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS).
4.3
CONTRAINDICATIONS
BICALACCORD is contraindicated in females and children.
BICALACCORD must not be given to any patient who has shown a
hypersensitivity reaction
to its use.
4.4
SPECIAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
BICALACCORD
is
extensively
metabolised
in
the
liver.
On
the
basis
of
currently
available
investigations, there may be slower excretion and accumulation of
bicalutimide in instances of severe
hepatic impairment. Caution is therefore required with patients with
moderate to severe hepatic
impairment. In these cases regular liver function tests (bilirubin,
transaminases, alkaline phosphatase)
must be carried out.
Severe hepatic changes and hepatic failure have been observed rarely
with BICALACCORD (see
ADVERSE EFFECTS). If there is clinical and/or biochemical evidence of
severe hepatotoxicity,
consideration should be given to discontinue BICALACCORD therapy
