Can I take Abiraterone and Prolonged release together?

Why this happens

Abiraterone is highly sensitive to food. If there is any fat or food in your system, the amount of medicine absorbed into your blood can increase by up to 10 times the intended dose. This can cause severe issues with your liver, heart, or potassium levels.

You must take abiraterone at least one hour before eating or two hours after eating. If your 'prolonged release' medication requires food, you must carefully time your doses so that the abiraterone is always taken on a completely empty stomach. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist to create a safe dosing schedule.
