Instrucciones de uso

Abiraterone is typically dosed at 500 mg or 1000 mg once a day. The dose may be lowered with impaired liver function. Most of the time, it is prescribed in combination with a corticosteroid therapy like prednisone or methylprednisone. Verify the correct doses and frequencies with your provider. The dose should not be more or less than what is prescribed. Since different formulations of abiraterone acetate have varying food and dosing requirements, ensure the correct formulation is selected.

Swallow tablets whole with water; do not break, crush, chew, or allow the tablets to be dissolved in your mouth. If tablets are broken or damaged, avoid inhalation or contact with the skin or mucous membranes. Zytiga must be taken on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after food. Yonsa, on the other hand, may be administered with or without food.
