Uses of Ablung 100MG Cap

Treatment of prostate cancer, especially metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, in combination with prednisone/prednisolone as prescribed.

• •Helps slow progression of advanced prostate cancer
• •Lowers androgen production that fuels tumor growth
• •Used with corticosteroid to improve outcomes
• •Can reduce symptoms and delay complications in metastatic disease

How it works

Abiraterone inhibits CYP17 (17α-hydroxylase/C17,20-lyase), a key enzyme in androgen biosynthesis in testes, adrenal glands and tumor tissue. This reduces androgen (testosterone) levels that drive prostate cancer growth. It is usually given with a corticosteroid to reduce mineralocorticoid excess effects.

Directions for use

Take exactly as prescribed by an oncologist. Swallow capsule whole with water at the same time each day. Commonly taken on an empty stomach (do not take with food unless your doctor specifically advises), and is usually prescribed along with prednisone/prednisolone. Do not stop corticosteroid abruptly; follow medical advice.
