How Does Arbitus Tablet Work

Arbitus Tablet works by inhibiting the production of androgens (male hormones, including testosterone), which play a crucial role in the growth and spread of prostate cancer cells. The active ingredient, Abiraterone Acetate, targets an enzyme called CYP17A1 that is involved in the production of androgens in the adrenal glands, testes, and tumor cells. By blocking this enzyme, Arbitus reduces the overall levels of testosterone and other androgens in the body.
