Description
Abiraterone Acetate Tablets 250 mg is a medication used primarily in the treatment of prostate cancer, particularly castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). It works by inhibiting the enzyme CYP17A1, which is involved in the production of androgens (male hormones) in the body. By reducing the levels of androgens, Abiraterone helps slow the growth of prostate cancer cells that rely on these hormones for growth.
The 250 mg dosage is typically taken once daily, in combination with prednisone, as prescribed by a healthcare provider. Common side effects may include fatigue, joint pain, hot flashes, high blood pressure, and changes in liver function. Regular monitoring, including blood tests for liver function and potassium levels, is important during treatment to manage any potential side effects effectively.
