abiraterone crushed, can't have it whole.

Posted by sbd @sbd, Nov 13, 2025

Do we have any experience of consuming crushed abiraterone ? It says that this medicine should be taken whole. Would really help to hear your views.

Oh - I am so happy to hear that problem was solved and thanks for sharing the result of that procedure : ) !

Who would guess that we can develop real blockage over time in that way ?! That is very scary. Was the scar tissue close to upper "pipe" region or in lower parts ? Great that he went to see a doctor, I would have never guessed that there could be a true blockage forming O-o ! How did doctor remove it , if you do not mind me asking ?

The blocking ring was towards the lower side of the food pipe..
The doctor did something called as esophageal dilation, using the endoscopy device (literally like popping a baloon)...there are other ways of dilation using a baloon, to increase diameter of esophagous, but that is may be for cases where it has narrowed even further... these procedures take not more than 10-15 mins.

Thanks for details - one never knows what one might need one day, I guess.
