Zyterone Tablet 250 mg contains Abiraterone Acetate, an anticancer medicine used in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer. It is commonly prescribed in combination with corticosteroids (such as prednisolone) to manage advanced prostate cancer in adult men.

Abiraterone works by blocking the production of androgens (male hormones such as testosterone) in the body. Prostate cancer cells depend on androgens for growth and survival. By reducing androgen production from the testes, adrenal glands, and tumor tissue, Zyterone helps slow down cancer progression and improve disease control.

Zyterone Tablet is an important hormonal therapy option for patients with advanced or castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Abiraterone Acetate USP 250 mg

Indications

Zyterone Tablet is indicated for:

• Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)
• Metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) (as prescribed)

How It Works

Abiraterone Acetate inhibits the CYP17 enzyme (17α-hydroxylase/C17,20-lyase), which is essential for androgen synthesis. This leads to a significant reduction in testosterone production, slowing the growth of prostate cancer cells.
