SPECIAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Initiation of treatment should be under the direct supervision of a
specialist.
Bicalutamide is extensively metabolised in the liver. Data suggests
that its elimination may be
slower in subjects with severe hepatic impairment and this could lead
to increased accumula-
tion of bicalutamide. Therefore, bicalutamide should be used with
caution in patients with
moderate to severe hepatic impairment.
