I take tykerb at night right before bed. I am not sure how far apart to take the Xeloda. Often I forget to take it in the morning. Is it ok to take in the late afternoon and again at night with dinner? I'm worried I am taking the pills to close together. I have heard that you should take Xeloda 12 hours apart.

Thanks.
