Diarrhea can be a side effect (SE) of flutamide (Eulexin).

Regarding that and the other meds, I recommend checking

http://www.rxlist.com/script/main/hp.asp

.....and searching on the relevant med.

Also: Report it to the medic. It's his job to address SEs of the meds he

prescribes.

Further to my above message:

Note well the warning on the first flutamide (Eulexin) page page about

the risk of liver damage and how to avoid it: " There have been

postmarketing reports of hospitalization and rarely death due to liver

failure in patients taking flutamide. "
