The findings of this pilot study suggest that trough plasma concentrations of bicalutamide enantiomers following administration of bicalutamide 150 mg are not markedly influenced by concomitant administration of tamoxifen 20 mg or anastrozole 1 mg. However, an effect of tamoxifen on bicalutamide pharmacokinetics can not be completely excluded due to the size of this study. Further studies are needed to clarify the effect of tamoxifen on bicalutamide pharmacokinetics and prostate cancer control in bicalutamide-treated patients.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
