Abiraterone acetate
ABIRASTERON is a medication used in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. It's sold under the brand name Zytiga. ABIRASTERON is specifically indicated for use in combination with prednisone (a corticosteroid) to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), which is a form of prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and is no longer responsive to hormonal therapies aimed at lowering testosterone levels.
Here's some key information about ABIRASTERON:
Mechanism of Action: ABIRASTERON works by inhibiting an enzyme called CYP17A1, which plays a crucial role in the production of androgens (male hormones, including testosterone). By blocking this enzyme, ABIRASTERON reduces the production of androgens, which can fuel the growth and progression of prostate cancer cells.
Indications: ABIRASTERON is primarily used in the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), which means that the cancer continues to grow even when the levels of testosterone (androgens) are suppressed.
Combination Therapy: ABIRASTERON is typically taken in combination with prednisone or prednisolone. The corticosteroid is used alongside abiraterone to manage side effects and to help reduce certain hormone-related side effects of the treatment.
Dosage: The dosage and treatment schedule for ABIRASTERON  can vary based on individual patient characteristics and the treating physician's recommendations. Generally, it's taken as a tablet once a day on an empty stomach.
Side Effects: Common side effects of ABIRASTERON can include fatigue, joint pain, swelling, high blood pressure, fluid retention, and changes in liver function tests. It's important for patients to be closely monitored by their healthcare provider for these side effects.
Precautions: ABIRASTERON should be used with caution in patients with certain medical conditions, including liver problems, cardiovascular disease, and electrolyte imbalances. It may interact with other medications, so it's important to inform your doctor about all the medications you're taking.
Monitoring: Regular monitoring of blood pressure, liver function, and other relevant parameters is typically done during treatment with ABIRASTERON.
Discontinuation: The decision to discontinue or modify treatment with ABIRASTERON should be made in consultation with the healthcare provider.
