Zygita is a type of medical castration. It decrease effect of Testosterone and leads to prevention of prostate cancer recurrence. testosterone is a anabolic hormone and its antagonist will cause muscle weakness. Predinisolone is a steroid and it also causes muscle weakness. I would suggest you to give him high protein diet and also tablet carnisure and hwlp him.
