Drug pricing is set separately in each country through different negotiation, regulatory, and distribution systems, so the same medication can legitimately carry different price tags on either side of the border. In this case, our data shows the US price is actually the lower of the two once a program like Cost Plus Drugs is factored in — the assumption that Canada is always cheaper doesn't hold for every drug.

Abiraterone is an oral prescription medication approved by the FDA for the treatment of prostate cancer. It is classified as an anti-androgen, meaning it works by blocking the body's production of testosterone, a hormone that can promote cancer growth. It is often prescribed in combination with prednisone. The tablets must be taken on an empty stomach (at least one hour before or two hours after eating) to avoid dangerously increasing drug levels in the body. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your individual health status and other medications you may be taking. It is crucial to take abiraterone consistently as prescribed and not to stop treatment without medical guidance, as this could allow the cancer to progress.

Common side effects of abiraterone can include joint pain, headache, hot flashes, swelling (fluid retention), low potassium levels, heartburn, cough, and cold-like symptoms. It may also cause elevated blood pressure and changes in liver function tests, which require monitoring by your healthcare provider. While serious side effects are less common, they can include severe allergic reactions (such as rash, swelling, or trouble breathing) and liver problems (symptoms like yellowing skin/eyes, dark urine, or severe nausea). This is not an exhaustive list of all possible side effects. Always discuss potential risks and benefits with your healthcare provider and report any persistent or concerning symptoms promptly.
