I have been using this drug for 12months now. it has been very effective and my PSA has come down from 32 to 11.3 in December 2023. The side effect is mostly excessive sweating, muscle cramp , and weakness. At times I feel like am falling.

I was prescribed Prednisolone/Aberiterone treatment in parallel with standard treatment my PSa has dramatically reduced in a smooth curve and now have a PSA of 0.6 I am told that this is not a cure and am being monitored monthly. I am healthier, with the only side effects being the 'sweats', usually after eating and drinking. I am cycling, walking and gardening a large garden.Read More Read Less

After taking zytiga for 3 months I developed dry mouth, lost 22 pounds, increased urination, dry skin, However, it did lower my PSA but not worth what I am experiencing after being off it four month.
