Admatrone 250mg Tablet

Product Introduction

Admatrone 250mg Tablet contains Abiraterone Acetate, a medication primarily used in the treatment of prostate cancer. It belongs to a class of drugs known as androgen biosynthesis inhibitors, which work by reducing the production of androgens (male hormones) in the body. These hormones can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells, and by lowering their levels, Admatrone 250mg helps slow down or stop the progression of the disease.

This medicine is typically prescribed in combination with prednisone or another corticosteroid to minimize the risk of side effects and improve treatment effectiveness. It is an oral medication, usually taken on an empty stomach to ensure proper absorption.

Admatrone 250mg is a critical part of advanced prostate cancer treatment and is recommended for patients whose cancer has either spread to other parts of the body or has stopped responding to other treatments. It is a prescription-only medicine and should be taken under strict medical supervision.
