About Zelgor 500 mg Tablet Zelgor 500 mg Tablet is an anti-androgen medicine used in the treatment of prostate cancer. It is used to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (a condition where cancer does not get controlled with hormonal therapy) and metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (a condition where cancer has spread to other parts of the body but can be controlled) in men. Prostate cancer is a condition that occurs when the prostate gland cells increase abnormally. Symptoms may include difficulty in urinating, pain, numbness, etc. Zelgor 500 mg Tablet contains Abiraterone acetate, which belongs to the class of androgen biosynthesis inhibitors.
