Prostate cancer cells need testosterone to grow. Honvan Tablet works by decreasing the amount of testosterone (natural hormone in males) in men. As a result, the spread and growth of prostate cancer stops or slows down.

Honvan Tablet helps in the treatment of hormone-dependent prostate cancer. It shrinks the tumor thereby also improving urinary symptoms such as poor urine flow. Inform your doctor if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or liver disease.
