Abhirise 80 mg is a prescription medicine primarily used in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. It contains Enzalutamide as its active ingredient, a powerful anti-androgen that works by blocking the effects of male hormones (androgens) like testosterone, which fuel the growth of prostate cancer cells.
Abhirise 80 mg is used in the treatment of:
Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)
Non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
Metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC)
Improves survival in advanced prostate cancer: Extends life expectancy in patients with late-stage or metastatic cancer.
Delays cancer progression: Slows down the spread and growth of prostate tumors.
Enhances quality of life: Helps reduce symptoms like pain and urinary problems associated with prostate cancer.
Non-invasive alternative: Offers a treatment option that can complement or delay chemotherapy or surgical castration.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not take two doses at once.
Abhirise 80 mg contains Enzalutamide, a non-steroidal anti-androgen. It works by:
Blocking androgen receptors on prostate cancer cells, preventing androgens like testosterone from binding.
Inhibiting androgen receptor signaling, which is critical for the growth and survival of prostate cancer cells.
Reducing tumor growth and delaying progression of the disease.
Unlike other hormonal therapies, enzalutamide works even in cancers that have become resistant to traditional androgen-deprivation therapy.
The standard dosage is 160 mg per day (usually taken as two 80 mg tablets).
Your doctor may adjust the dose based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and side effects.
Treatment is generally long-term and should be continued unless stopped by a doctor.
