Product Information
How It Works
Abiraterone Acetate is an androgen biosynthesis inhibitor used in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. Prostate cancer cells can depend on androgen hormones, including testosterone, for growth and survival.
Ahabir blocks an enzyme called CYP17, which is involved in androgen production in the testes, adrenal glands, and prostate tumor tissue. By reducing androgen production, it helps slow the growth and progression of androgen-sensitive prostate cancer. It is generally prescribed alongside appropriate hormonal therapy as directed by the treating oncologist.
