About Honvan Tablet 10's

Honvan Tablet 10's belongs to the class of anticancer drugs called non-steroidal oestrogens used to treat prostate cancer in an adult male. Prostate cancer is prostate gland cancer (a small gland under the bladder secretes fluid that nourishes and protects sperm) found only in men (mostly after 50 years of age). The symptoms include difficulty in urination, pain, numbness or sexual problems.

Honvan Tablet 10's contains Fosfestrol, a synthetic, non-steroidal form of oestrogen (female sex hormone) that works by getting converted to active oestrogen in the body.

Thereby, Honvan Tablet 10's prevents the growth of prostate cancer cells and eventually shrinks the prostate tumour.
