How it works

ABIRABAY 250 contains the active ingredient Abiraterone Acetate. Abiraterone Acetate is used in the treatment of prostate cancer, particularly in cases that are resistant to other treatments. It works by inhibiting an enzyme called CYP17, which is involved in the production of androgens (male hormones) in the body, including testosterone. By blocking this enzyme, Abiraterone Acetate reduces the production of androgens, which can slow down the growth of prostate cancer cells.

‍Indications

ABIRABAY 250 is typically prescribed for the following conditions:
1. Prostate cancer: It is used in combination with other medications to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, a form of prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy.

The dosage of ABIRABAY 250 will vary depending on the specific condition being treated, the patient's overall health, and the doctor's recommendations.
It is typically taken orally, usually once daily, on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after a meal.
