What is Xbira (Abiraterone)?
Xbira (Abiraterone) is a medication used primarily for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, especially metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). It works by inhibiting the CYP17 enzyme, which plays a crucial role in the production of androgens like testosterone. By reducing androgen levels, it helps slow the growth and spread of prostate cancer cells.
How does Xbira work?
Xbira contains abiraterone acetate, which targets and inhibits the enzyme CYP17. This enzyme is essential for androgen production in the adrenal glands, testes, and even prostate cancer cells. By blocking androgen production, Xbira reduces the stimulation of prostate cancer cells, helping to slow their growth and potentially shrink tumors.
What is the recommended dosage of Xbira?
The recommended dosage of Xbira is 1000 mg per day, typically taken as four 250 mg tablets, on an empty stomach. It should be taken at least two hours after a meal, and no food should be consumed for one hour after taking the medication.
What types of prostate cancer is Xbira used to treat?
Xbira is mainly used to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), a form of prostate cancer that continues to grow despite reduced testosterone levels. It may also be used for metastatic high-risk castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) in combination with prednisone.
How should Xbira be taken?
Xbira should be taken orally as prescribed, typically once a day. It is essential to take it on an empty stomach (at least 2 hours after a meal) and avoid eating for 1 hour after taking the medication.
