Left zytiga in another state

my husband forgot his zytiga and dexamethasone at home in Mississippi. We are in Texas for his father’s funeral which is Saturday. Can anyone help us problem solve. How much of a problem is it if he misses 3 doses?

Call you Dr after you found a pharmacy that has it in stock, have him/her call

I dont believe pharmacies will break down a 120 pill bottle, you might have to get the whole bottle.

Im basing it on 4 250s a day.

"How much of a problem is it if he misses 3 doses?" It is no problem. It will make no difference regarding overall survival. Testosterone will not recover that fast, it usually takes months for that.

I went a week on only 3 Abi/day and my next PSA test still showed undetectable. The bigger question is does your husband exercise a lot -- weights + aero/cardio. Has he had a DXA bone mineral density scan? Probably needs to pay attention to bone care (you too.)

I would be more worried about him missing doses of the dexamethasone and the potential withdrawal side effects. If he starts showing any signs of adrenal insufficiency have him see a doctor. He will most likely be fine, but just something to be on the lookout for.
