Abiraterone XBIRA Tablets in Pakistan

XBIRA Tablets contain abiraterone acetate, a prescription medication used to treat advanced prostate cancer. It is specifically indicated for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), typically used in combination with a steroid like prednisone.

Benefits:

Slows Cancer Progression – Reduces growth of prostate cancer cells by blocking male hormones (androgens)
Improves Survival Rates – Clinical studies show increased survival in advanced prostate cancer patients
Manages Symptoms – Helps reduce cancer-related symptoms such as bone pain or fatigue
Combination Therapy – Works effectively alongside steroids to enhance treatment outcomes 

How It Works:

Abiraterone acetate, the active ingredient in XBIRA, inhibits CYP17 enzyme, which is essential for the production of androgens in the testes, adrenal glands, and prostate tumor tissue.
By lowering androgen levels, it deprives prostate cancer cells of the hormones they need to grow, slowing disease progression. The addition of a steroid like prednisone helps reduce side effects such as fluid retention, high blood pressure, and potassium imbalance.

How To Use:

Take exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider

Usually taken once daily on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after food)

Always combine with prednisone as instructed

Do not alter dosage or stop without consulting your doctor

Regular blood tests may be required to monitor liver function, blood pressure, and electrolytes
