Abiraterone 250mg tablets are a medication used to treat prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Here's a detailed description:

What it is:

  • Active Ingredient: Abiraterone acetate (each 250mg tablet contains 250 mg abiraterone acetate, equivalent to 223 mg of abiraterone).

  • Class of Medication: Androgen biosynthesis inhibitor. It works by decreasing the amount of certain hormones (androgens like testosterone) in the body, which can slow the growth of prostate cancer.

  • Form: Oral tablet, typically film-coated.

Uses:

  • It is used in combination with prednisone or prednisolone to treat:

    • Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC): Prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer responding to treatments that lower testosterone levels (surgical or medical castration).

    • Metastatic high-risk castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC): Prostate cancer that has spread but is still responding to hormone therapy, specifically when it's considered high-risk.

Dosage and Administration:

  • The typical recommended dose is 1,000 mg (four 250 mg tablets) as a single daily dose.

  • Important: Abiraterone must be taken on an empty stomach. This means taking it at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating any food. Taking it with food significantly increases the absorption of abiraterone, which can lead to increased side effects.

  • It is usually taken once daily at around the same time each day.

  • It is crucial to take abiraterone exactly as directed by your doctor and not to break, crush, or chew the tablets.

  • Prednisone or prednisolone is prescribed alongside abiraterone to help manage potential side effects related to increased mineralocorticoid levels (e.g., high blood pressure, fluid retention, low potassium).

Side Effects: Abiraterone can cause various side effects, some common and some serious. It's important to monitor for these and report them to your doctor.

  • Common Side Effects (may affect more than 1 in 10 people):

    • Fluid retention (swelling in legs or feet)

    • Low blood potassium (hypokalemia)

    • Increased liver function test results

    • High blood pressure (hypertension)

    • Urinary tract infection

    • Diarrhea

    • Joint swelling/discomfort

    • Muscle discomfort

    • Cough

    • Upper respiratory tract infection

    • Insomnia

    • Constipation

    • Dyspepsia (indigestion)
