Product Description
Active Ingredient: Abiraterone acetate (500 mg)
Manufacturer: Intas Pharmaceuticals
Therapeutic Class: Androgen biosynthesis inhibitor (specifically, it blocks the CYP17 enzyme)
How It Works
Prostate cancer cells often rely on androgens like testosterone to grow and multiply. Abiratas works by inhibiting a specific enzyme (CYP17) found in the testes, adrenal glands, and prostate tumor tissue, which is necessary for androgen production. By decreasing testosterone levels, the medication "starves" the cancer cells of the hormones they need to grow, thus slowing the progression of the cancer.
Usage and Dosage
Primary Use: Treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and high-risk metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.
Combination Therapy: It is almost always used in combination with a steroid medication like prednisone or prednisolone to reduce the risk of side effects such as high blood pressure and low potassium levels.
Administration: The tablet must be swallowed whole with water on an empty stomach (no food for at least one hour after and two hours before the dose). Food can increase the absorption of the medicine, which may lead to serious side effects.
Prescription Only: This medicine is available only with a doctor's prescription and ongoing medical supervision is required, including regular monitoring of blood pressure, liver function, and potassium levels.
Targeted Prostate Cancer Therapy
ABIRATAS 500MG TABS are specifically indicated for adult men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The active ingredient, Abiraterone Acetate, works by limiting androgen production, which can slow or halt tumor growth. This targeted approach provides a valuable treatment option for patients who have progressed despite surgical or medical castration.
Precise Dosage and Administration
For optimal effectiveness, ABIRATAS should be taken as directed by a physician-typically two 500 mg tablets once daily. It is crucial to take the tablet on an empty stomach, either at least one hour before or two hours after eating. This ensures the medicine is absorbed properly and acts most efficiently against cancer cells.
Safe Handling and Storage Guidelines
Store ABIRATAS 500MG TABS below 30C, in a dry place, and out of direct light to preserve quality. The medication should be kept out of reach of children at all times, as accidental ingestion could be harmful. Proper storage maintains both efficacy and safety throughout the 36-month shelf life.
