Prednisone is taken early morning (5 mg) and at night (5 mg) (or just in the morning if you are only taking one). Zytiga (1000 mg) is taken at least 2 hours after a meal and an hour before a meal. (LOL@auto-correct)

From one old skier to another, I always took my zytiga when I got up for early morning pee break, then go back to bed for 2 hours, get up and take prednisone with breakfast.

I do the same as Dan. But I see that he likes the bed a little more than me. I wake up at 7 and I take my magic potion. One more hour in bed and at 8 breakfast and prednisone.

My husband could not take prednisone, because in the beginning...with Zytiga...it turned him into an insulin dependent diabetic! His main cancer doctor at University of Michigan never could remember that my husband was not taking Zytiga. There was a huge meeting concerning my husband...like how could he take Zytiga (a year) without Prednisone...Zytiga stopped working after a year (last summer)...now husband taking radiation this month...then docs plan to give him chemo next year. He has 4th stage cancer that has metastasized to his lymph nodes and his bones. Diagnosed in end 2014....but docs then said nothing they could do...
