Zytiga

Zytiga is used alongside prednisone for the treatment of prostate cancer that’s spread to other areas of the body. The active ingredient (abiraterone) belongs to a class of medications called anti-androgens. Testosterone is a naturally occurring hormone that can help prostate cancer to grow and spread. Zytiga helps to block the production of testosterone which slows the spread and growth of prostate cancer.

Before starting Zytiga ensure you carefully read the patient information leaflet and ask your doctor or pharmacist any questions you have. Different brands of this medication may have different dosing instructions so do not change brands without talking to your doctor first. 

Take Zytiga orally on an empty stomach as instructed by your physician, usually once a day. Taking Zytiga too soon before or after eating drastically increases the amount of this medication in your body, thereby increasing your risk of side effects. Always swallow Zytiga whole, never crush, chew, or split this medication. 

Your dosage will be based on your medical condition, response to treatment, other medications you’re taking, and lab results. Take Zytiga regularly to properly benefit from it and take it at the same time daily to help you remember. If your condition persists or worsens talk to your doctor right away.

Alongside the needed benefits of Zytiga, it can also cause unwanted side effects. You will not experience all of these side effects, but some can require medical attention so discuss side effects with your doctor before starting any medication.
