Description

Abiraterone Acetate, a CYP17 inhibitor is generically supplied under the brand Abirapro. This medicine is primarily used for the treatment of prostate cancer in men. Specifically, it is prescribed for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, a condition known as metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This drug works by reducing the production of androgens, which are male hormones that can promote the growth of prostate cancer cells. Abiraterone Acetate is often used in combination with another medication called prednisone, a steroid that helps manage side effects and enhances the effectiveness of the treatment.

In some cases, Abiraterone is also used for the treatment of high-risk patients who have not responded well to initial hormone therapies. By decreasing androgen levels, this therapeutic drug can slow down the progression of cancer, improve signs and symptoms, and potentially extend the patient’s life. 

Dosage and Side Effects: 

Metastatic CRPC: The recommended dose of Abiraterone is 1,000 mg (two 500 mg tablets or four 250 mg tablets) orally once daily along with prednisone 5 mg orally twice daily.

Metastatic High-risk CSPC: The recommended dose of Abiraterone is 1,000 mg (two 500 mg tablets or four 250 mg tablets) orally once daily along with prednisone 5 mg administered orally once daily.

Abiraterone tablets must be taken as a single dose once daily on an empty stomach. It is not advisable to eat food 2 hours before and 1 hour after taking this medicine. The tablets must be swallowed whole with water. Do not chew/crush tablets.

The most common side effects of Abiraterone Acetate 250 mg/500 mg are fatigue, hypertension, nausea, edema, arthralgia, hypokalemia, diarrhea, vomiting, upper respiratory infection, cough, headache, and hot flush.

Warning and Precautions

  • Abiraterone 500 mg/250 mg can cause an increase in mineralocorticoid levels. This can lead to high blood pressure, low blood potassium, and fluid retention (swelling or edema). It is important to regularly monitor blood pressure and potassium levels and manage them with medication if needed. Patients with heart problems should be closely monitored for fluid retention.
  • This medication can lower the levels of adrenal hormones, which are necessary for the body’s response to stress. Patients taking Abiraterone Acetate should also take a corticosteroid like prednisone to prevent this. Regular monitoring is important to ensure proper adrenal function, especially during times of stress, such as surgery or illness.
  • Abiraterone Acetate may cause liver damage, which can be serious. Liver function should be monitored before starting treatment and during treatment. If liver function tests show abnormal results, the dosage may need to be adjusted or stopped altogether. Symptoms of liver problems include jaundice, dark urine, and severe fatigue.
  • Abirapro 250 mg/500 mg can harm an unborn baby. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should not take this medication. Men taking this medication should use effective contraception to prevent pregnancy during treatment and for three weeks after stopping the drug.
  • This therapeutic drug can cause low blood sugar levels, especially in patients taking medications for diabetes. Blood sugar levels should be monitored regularly, and diabetes medications may need adjustment.
  • When used with Radium Ra 223 Dichloride, there is an increased risk of bone fractures and death. This combination should be avoided. If both treatments are necessary, patients should be closely monitored for bone health and overall well-being.
