What is a Generic Drug?
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Product Details
Description
Zytiga For Prostate Cancer
Zytiga belongs to the family of drugs known as antiandrogens (anti-testosterone). Androgens (testosterone) are naturally occurring male hormones, and these androgens promote tumor growth in the prostate gland and help in spreading the disease. These abiraterone acetate tablets act by reducing the production of androgens in the body. This blockage in the androgen production results in slowing down of the growth and spread of prostate cancer.
Zytiga 250 mg is being effectively used in prostate cancer treatment and its spread to other parts of the body. Zytiga is specially used to treat prostate cancer that cannot be treated with surgery or other medications.
Zytiga must not be used by women and children.
Zytiga can be purchased easily from Canada Pharmacy. Quality of the product is guaranteed.

Zytiga must be taken strictly as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken on an empty stomach, once a day or as directed by your doctor. Do not eat anything 2 hours before and 1 hour after you have taken Zytiga. The tablet should be swallowed whole and must not be crushed or broken. Never alter, increase, decrease or stop the medication without consulting your doctor.
Zytiga medication is invariably always combined with prednisolone, which is taken twice a day. Prednisolone may vary in case of surgery, your illness or your stress level.
