Unfortunately diarrhea is a side-effect of Casodex. Have you told your doctor about this side-effect.
Your doctor or pharmacist may be able to recommend a tablet to counteract the diarrhea eg loperamide.
Alternatively your doctor could switch you to another similar anti-androgen medication in the hope that you tolerate it better.eg flutamide
