BDRON 500 mg Tablets Abiraterone 500 mg Tablets by BDR Pharmaceuticals contain abiraterone acetate, a medicine used to treat advanced and metastatic prostate cancer. It works by blocking an enzyme involved in the production of male hormones (androgens). Since prostate cancer cells often depend on these hormones to grow, reducing their levels helps slow the progression of the disease and supports ongoing cancer treatment.
