How Do You Fill Your Prescription for ZYTIGA^® (abiraterone acetate)?

Your Doctor’s Office Pharmacy

If your doctor’s office has its own pharmacy, your ZYTIGA^® and prednisone may be available for pick-up there. However, it is more common to get ZYTIGA^® through a specialty pharmacy. Your prednisone prescription may also be filled at any retail pharmacy.
