Treat Prostate Cancer Effectively with Abiraterone Acetate – Available in the Philippines
Prostate cancer is one of the leading cancers among Filipino men, particularly those over the age of 50. Fortunately, advances in treatment have made it possible to manage this disease more effectively and extend quality of life. Abiraterone Acetate Tablets (250mg and 500mg) are one of the most widely used medications for advanced or metastatic prostate cancer and are now available at affordable prices in the Philippines through Palmer Wellness Hub.
Abiraterone works by lowering testosterone levels, which slows the growth of prostate cancer cells. This medicine is trusted globally and recommended by oncologists for patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
What Is Abiraterone Acetate and How Does It Work?
Abiraterone Acetate is a type of hormonal therapy used to treat prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or is resistant to other treatments. It works by blocking CYP17, an enzyme your body uses to produce androgens (male hormones).
By lowering androgen levels, Abiraterone helps:
- Slow the spread of cancer cells
- Improve symptoms like bone pain
- Increase overall survival in patients with advanced prostate cancer
According to NIH research, Abiraterone has been shown to significantly improve outcomes in men with both castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC).
Who Should Take Abiraterone in the Philippines?
Abiraterone is typically prescribed to Filipino men who:
- Have advanced (metastatic) prostate cancer
- Are undergoing androgen deprivation therapy
- Are no longer responding to chemotherapy
- Want to improve long-term survival and quality of life
Doctors may also prescribe it before chemotherapy, especially if the patient is not ready or healthy enough for chemo.
This medicine is usually taken together with prednisone, a corticosteroid that reduces side effects and inflammation. Always consult your oncologist before starting.
How to Take Abiraterone Tablets Safely
Here’s how to use Abiraterone properly:
- Take on an empty stomach – at least 2 hours after eating, and do not eat for at least 1 hour after taking it.
- Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush or chew.
- Take with prednisone, as prescribed by your doctor.
- Take it at the same time each day.
