Can I take Abiraterone and Decapeptil depot together?

Why this happens

Both medicines can affect the electrical activity of the heart. Abiraterone can also cause low potassium levels, which makes heart rhythm issues more likely. Additionally, abiraterone can change how the body processes other drugs, potentially increasing the risk of muscle-related side effects.

This combination is often prescribed together by specialists to treat advanced prostate cancer, but it requires close monitoring. You should have regular blood tests to check your potassium and magnesium levels. Tell your doctor immediately if you feel dizzy, faint, or notice a fluttering or pounding heartbeat.
