It is an androgen biosynthesis inhibitor that decreases the production of testosterone, a hormone that is known to induce the growth of prostate cancer cells. The medication is taken orally in the form of tablets.

Each tablet of Zybiraa contains abiraterone acetate as the active ingredient. Other ingredients include microcrystalline cellulose, colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, hypromellose, polyethylene glycol, and titanium dioxide.
Uses:
Zybiraa is an effective medication used to treat prostate cancer in men who have not responded well to other treatments. It is used in combination with other medications to reduce the production of testosterone in the body, which helps reduce the growth and spread of prostate cancer.
