Best time to take Zytiga and prednisone.

[Lslal]

Hi,

The prescription I have says to take Zytiga 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.

I usually take them first thing in the morning but was wondering if it would be better to instead take them before going to bed.

Any thoughts?

Cheers and be well.

It’s at least 2 hours since your last meal and at least one hour before your next meal. I used to do it two hours after breakfast and an hour before lunch. Now I just take it when I get up to pee in the middle of the night around 3 or 4 am which for me meets the requirements and is more convenient.

When I took it I trained myself to wake up about 5am ish, take zytiga. The when I had breakfast took Pred.

I was on a drug trial with zytiga. In the first few years I was told to take it on an empty stomach. My PSA went down. My PSA started to rise. I was told to take it with food and my PSA went back down.

For your information.

How much were you taking with food and for how long did it work.

[Magnus1964 in reply to Parscore]

I don't remember the dosage but zytiga worked for 3 1/2 years.

I take zytiga like yourself 1 hour before breakfast on a empty stomach have done last 18 months seems not problems to me. 😏

*Take prednisone 5gm with breakfast

I used to take Zytiga when I woke up to pee in the night, but it seemed to upset my sleep more than just peeing and I would stress about not waking up, which made me wake up every night no matter what. No I take it right before bed. This means no snacking on the evening, which is a bonus for my health... I take the Prednisone in the morning with breakfast.

My regime for almost 4 years. I have the Zytiga bottle at my bedside and take it as I get into bed. I take the pred with breakfast. In all that time have not missed the schedule.

I have considered taking it before going to bed at night, but I fear I that there might be times when I was so tired or sleepy that I would forget them.

So I take mine when I first wake up in the morning. Room for error.

I also take it when I'm up in the early morning to go pee - I snack all the time during the day, and there is no the hour clear period without food...

Best to take it when your mouth is open....

I take mine at 4:00 am with a full glass of water. I was told by one of the Brothers on this site to take it with a full glass of water for best result and minimize the chances of upset stomach. I don't know if it just in my head or real but it works. My PSA has been 0.1 since first month. I'm now approaching my 5th year. Needless to say won't change the routine anytime soon. Never give up Never surrender. Leo
