Abirone Tablet 250mg

Abiraterone Acetate is an oral hormonal anticancer medication used primarily in the management of prostate cancer. It belongs to the class of androgen biosynthesis inhibitors and works by blocking the CYP17 enzyme, which plays a key role in the production of testosterone and other androgens in the body. Since prostate cancer cells often rely on androgens for growth and survival, reducing hormone levels helps slow disease progression and improve patient outcomes. Abiraterone acetate is commonly used in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer, usually in combination with androgen deprivation therapy and a corticosteroid such as prednisone or prednisolone to reduce side effects like fluid retention and hypertension. The medicine is taken orally, typically once daily on an empty stomach, as food significantly increases drug absorption and may increase side effects. Regular monitoring of liver function, blood pressure, and serum potassium levels is required during treatment. Common adverse effects include fatigue, joint pain, swelling, hypertension, low potassium levels, and liver enzyme elevation. Treatment should always be supervised by an oncology specialist for safe and effective long-term disease control.
