Uses
ABIRATERONE 250mg Tablets are prescribed for the management of metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and metastatic high‑risk castration‑sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). They are always given together with prednisone to reduce side effects and improve treatment outcomes. By blocking androgen synthesis both in the testes and other tissues, abiraterone reduces the stimulation of prostate cancer cells, thereby slowing disease progression and improving survival in affected patients.

Dosage and Administration
The tablets should be taken orally, swallowed whole with water. ABIRATERONE is usually administered once daily on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after meals. It is always prescribed together with low‑dose prednisone to minimize side effects. Dosage adjustments must be made under medical supervision, particularly in patients with liver impairment.

Special Populations and Precautions
ABIRATERONE should be used cautiously in patients with liver disease, heart problems, or hypertension. Pregnant women must not handle the tablets due to potential harm to the fetus. It is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to abiraterone acetate or any excipients in the formulation. Regular monitoring of liver function, blood pressure, and potassium levels is required during therapy.
