Yonsa (abiraterone acetate) is an ultramicrosize formulation of the oral CYP17 inhibitor abiraterone acetate (approved as Zytiga) used in combination with methylprednisolone for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Yonsa (abiraterone acetate) in combination with methylprednisolone is indicated for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The drug may cause hypertension, hypokalemia, and fluid retention as a consequence of increased mineralocorticoid levels resulting from CYP17 inhibition.

The most common adverse reactions are fatigue, joint swelling or discomfort, edema, hot flush, diarrhea, vomiting, cough, hypertension, dyspnea, urinary tract infection and contusion.
