Abiraterone Acetate lp (250mg)
ABIRASTERON 250 

Abirasteron 250, containing the active ingredient Abiraterone Acetate (250mg), is a specialized medication primarily used for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. It belongs to the class of androgen biosynthesis inhibitors and works by reducing androgen production, a hormone that can fuel the growth of prostate cancer cells. This medication is often prescribed alongside other treatments, such as prednisone, to enhance efficacy and manage symptoms.

Uses
Abirasteron 250 is primarily indicated for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and metastatic high-risk castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). By inhibiting the production of androgens, the medication helps slow or stop the growth of prostate cancer cells, improving the patient's quality of life.

How Does It Work?
Abiraterone Acetate, the active component in Abirasteron 250, works by targeting CYP17 enzyme, which is crucial for androgen biosynthesis. This enzyme is found in the testes, adrenal glands, and prostate tissue. By inhibiting CYP17, the drug effectively reduces the production of testosterone and other androgens, which are necessary for prostate cancer cells to grow and multiply.

Dosage and Administration

• Standard Dosage: The recommended dose of Abirasteron 250 is 1,000 mg (four 250mg tablets) taken once daily on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after a meal.
• Prednisone Co-administration: To reduce side effects, prednisone (5mg twice daily) is usually prescribed alongside Abirasteron.
• Important Instructions:
  • Take the medication at the same time every day.
  • Do not chew, crush, or break the tablets; swallow them whole with water.
