Hi all
My father was prescribed 1000mg daily dose (500mgx2). As the hospital was out of stock of 500mg tablets they gave us an equivalent amount of 250mg ones.
One thing that struck me was that 120 tablets of 250mg Abiraterone cost half that of 60 tablets of 500mg here. This was true for all generic brands.
Is the 500mg dose superior in any way other than the comfort of taking one tablet instead of two? I note that 250mg is uncoated and 500mg is coated. My dad did say that he experienced a lot of gas when he took 250mg (4x). Would switching to 500mg (2x) help?
Thank you!
