Hello Everyone,

This is about my Father, he was on Nubeqa and Eligard shot for last two years. His PSA started going up again and his pains also started. His medical oncologist changed his Oral drug to Zytiga with prednisone.

He is told not to eat anything two hours before and one hour after Zytiga.

And usually prednisone is taken after a meal.

So should he take Zytiga and take a break of one hour and then have prednisone after the meal?

I just want to know how usually others are taking Zytiga with Prednisone?

I typically take my Abiraterone (generic Zytiga) when I get up at night to urinate, usually between 1:00 and 3:00 AM. I take the prednisone shortly after I wake up around 6 AM with a little food.

Not what you're looking for?
