Drug Interactions
When using bicalutamide for 28 days while taking midazolam, the AUC of midazolam increased by 80%.
With the simultaneous use of bicalutamide with cyclosporine or calcium channel blockers, potentiation or development of adverse reactions is possible.
Theoretically, an increase in the concentration of bicalutamide in blood plasma is possible when it is used simultaneously with inhibitors of microsomal liver enzymes, which may be accompanied by an increase in the frequency of occurrence of adverse reactions.
In vitro studies have shown that bicalutamide can displace the coumarin anticoagulant warfarin from plasma protein binding sites.
Overdose
There have been no cases of overdose in humans. There is no specific antidote.
Treatment is symptomatic. Dialysis is not effective, as bicalutamide binds strongly to proteins and is not excreted by the kidneys unchanged.
General supportive therapy and monitoring of vital functions of an organism are shown.
