Xbira Abiraterone 250 mg Tablet

Xbira Abiraterone 250 mg Tablet works by specifically inhibiting the CYP17 enzyme, which is essential for the body to produce androgens (male hormones). Unlike traditional surgical or chemical castration that only stops testosterone production in the testes, Abiraterone Acetate shuts down hormone production throughout the entire body, including the hormones produced by the prostate cancer cells themselves.

• Triple Suppression: Blocks androgens from the testes, adrenal glands, and tumor tissues.

• Cipla Quality: Manufactured by Cipla, a world leader in affordable oncology, ensuring the highest standards of purity and bioequivalence.

Administration & Safety Protocols

1. Strict Fasting: Xbira must be taken on an empty stomach. Do not eat any food for at least 2 hours before and 1 hour after taking the dose. Taking it with food can cause dangerously high levels of the drug to be absorbed.

2. Combination Therapy: It is almost always prescribed alongside a low-dose corticosteroid (Prednisone/Prednisolone) to reduce the risk of high blood pressure or fluid retention.

3. Dosing: The standard dose is often 1,000 mg (four 250 mg tablets) taken once daily. Do not crush or chew the tablets.

4. Monitoring: Patients require regular monitoring of blood pressure, serum potassium levels, and liver function (ALT/AST).

5. Handling: Pregnant women should not handle Xbira tablets without gloves, as the drug can be absorbed through the skin and harm a male fetus.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is Xbira 250 mg the same as Zytiga? Yes. Xbira is the bioequivalent generic version. It contains the same active ingredient, Abiraterone Acetate, and provides the same clinical efficacy at a more accessible price point.

2. Why must I take Prednisolone with Xbira? Xbira can cause your body to produce too much of a hormone called aldosterone, leading to high blood pressure and low potassium. Prednisolone helps keep these hormone levels balanced.

3. How long does it take for Xbira to work? While it begins working immediately to lower hormone levels, doctors usually monitor your PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) levels over several weeks to evaluate the response.

4. Does Milan Medicals ship Xbira to the USA and UAE? Yes. We specialize in secure, priority-tracked international shipping of oncology medications to the USA, UAE, KSA, UK, and Europe.

5. What happens if I eat food while taking Xbira? Eating food significantly increases the absorption of Abiraterone, which can increase the risk of severe side effects. Always stick to the “empty stomach” rule.
