How Does Abhirise 80 mg Work?
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.
Dosage of Abhirise 80 mg
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.
Dose adjustments may be needed in patients with liver or kidney impairment.
