What Is MYTERA 500? — Introduction & Overview
MYTERA 500 is a oncology medication whose active ingredient is Abiraterone Acetate (500 mg per tablet). It belongs to the class of androgen biosynthesis inhibitors — drugs that block the production of male hormones (androgens) which prostate cancer cells often need to grow.
It’s commonly used in adult men with advanced/metastatic prostate cancer, especially in cases where:
-
The cancer has spread beyond the prostate gland.
-
It continues progressing despite decreased testosterone (castration-resistant disease).
-
It’s given with prednisone or prednisolone to reduce side effects and improve tolerance.
How MYTERA 500 Works — Mechanism of Action
MYTERA 500 inhibits the CYP17 enzyme — a key enzyme for producing testosterone in:
-
Testes
-
Adrenal glands
-
Tumor tissue
By suppressing this pathway, MYTERA reduces circulating androgen levels, slowing growth and spread of prostate cancer cells
Dosage, Administration & Practical Tips
How to Take MYTERA 500
✔️ Take on an empty stomach — at least 1 hour before a meal or 2 hours after eating. Food significantly increases absorption, raising side-effect risk.
✔️ Swallow whole with water — do not chew, crush, or break the tablet.
✔️ Usually prescribed once daily with prednisolone/prednisone
