WHAT ABIRATERONE ARISTO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Abiraterone Aristo contains a medicine called abiraterone acetate. It
is used to treat prostate
cancer in adult men that has spread to other parts of the body.
Abiraterone Aristo stops your
body from making testosterone; this can slow the growth of prostate
cancer.
When Abiraterone Aristo is prescribed for the early stage of disease
where it is still responding
to hormone therapy, it is used with a treatment that lowers
testosterone (androgen deprivation
therapy).
When you take this medicine, your doctor will also prescribe another
medicine called prednisone or
prednisolone. This is to lower your chances of getting high blood
pressure, having too much water
in your body (fluid retention), or having reduced levels of a chemical
known as potassium in your
blood.
