Glenza 40mg is a medication used for the treatment of prostate cancer. It contains the active ingredient Abiraterone, which works by blocking the production of androgens (male hormones) in the body. Androgens can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells, so by reducing their production, Glenza can help slow down the progression of the disease.

Glenza is typically prescribed for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have already undergone androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and have not responded to other treatments. It is taken orally, usually once a day on an empty stomach, either 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.

As with all medications, Glenza may cause side effects. Some of the most common side effects include fatigue, joint pain, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, high blood pressure, and swelling in the legs or feet. It is important to speak with your doctor if you experience any of these side effects or if you have any concerns about taking Glenza.
