About Abirakast 250mg

Abirakast 250mg is a medication containing the active ingredient abiraterone acetate. The medicine is used to treat prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic prostate cancer). Abirakast 250mg works by blocking the production of testosterone, a hormone that helps cancer cells grow. It is typically prescribed to be used in combination with another medication, such as chemotherapy.

Benefits of Abirakast Tablet

In Prostate cancer

The prostate gland is a tiny, nut-shaped organ responsible for producing seminal fluid, which nourishes and carries sperm. Although trouble with urination is the most common symptom of prostate cancer, in some cases there may be no signs at all. Taking Abirakast 250mg tablets will reduce the level of testosterone (a naturally occurring hormone in males), ultimately slowing down or completely stopping the proliferation of cancer cells. This medication not only eases the discomfort of urination but also makes the process easier.

How does Abirakast 250mg Tablet works?

This anti-cancer medicine works by preventing the production of androgen (the male hormone) in men. It obstructs the function of CYP17, an enzyme responsible for the production of androgen. This process slows the growth of prostate cancer.
