1. What is Abiraterona Combix and what is it used for
Abiraterona Combixcontains a medication called abiraterone acetate. It is used for the treatment of prostate cancer in adult men who have spread to other parts of the body.This medicationcauses your body to stop producing testosterone; in this way, it can delay the growth of prostate cancer.
Whenthis medicationis prescribed in the early stages of the disease and there is still a response to hormone treatment, it is used in combination with a treatment to reduce testosterone (androgen deprivation therapy).
When you take this medication, your doctor will also prescribe another medication called prednisone or prednisolone, to reduce the risk of experiencing an increase in blood pressure, accumulating too much fluid in your body (fluid retention) or decreasing the levels of a chemical called potassium in your blood.
