  • The recommended dose of ERLEADA® is 240 mg (four 60 mg tablets) administered orally once daily1
  • Patients should also receive a GnRH analog concurrently or should have had a bilateral orchiectomy1
  • If Grade 3 or greater adverse reactions, or other intolerable adverse reactions occur, withhold ERLEADA®.

Permanently discontinue ERLEADA® for confirmed SCARs or for other Grade 4 skin reactions. For other adverse reactions, when symptoms improve to less than or equal to Grade 1 or original grade, resume ERLEADA® at the same dose or a reduced dose (180 mg or 120 mg), if warranted1
