Capmide 40mg Capsule belongs to the drug class of androgen inhibitor steroids. This drug restricts the production of the active form of testosterone, DHT (dihydrotestosterone). It inhibits the androgen receptor and disturbs the signals that help in binding to its receptor. However, by blocking hormone-receptor binding, DNA interaction does not occur, and tumor cells start to shrink. Eventually, it stops the multiplication of the cancer cells.
