Yonsa instead of arbitrone

Had anyone tried yonsa instead of arbitrone, you take half of what arbitrone is and can take it with food. Is it just as effective and what is the cost compared to Zetiga , I know it is a formulation of arbitrone but does it give better results for a longer period of time and any experience with oral methylpredisolone 4 MG twice daily.

It costs about $1000/mo less than brand name Zytiga but a lot more than the generic. Other than cost and the convenience of not worrying about food, it is the same. 4mg methylprednisolone=5mg prednisone.

I'm taking Yonsa. The dose of Yonsa is 1/2 of that of Zytiga but provides the same blood levels. I asked to make the change because the large Zytiga pills were difficult for me to swallow and I think were the cause of irritation of my esophagus. My insurance covered the cost and with the drug companies discount, I'm only paying $10 per 3 month supply! I don't know how my Oncologist was able to get the approval.

You must have applied for assistance through the company, did you have to tell your income and any investment information to get the discount ?
