I was told to take it on an empty stomach, and I take it first thing when I wake up. I take 4 with Xeloda, and went down from 5 as it was all too much. We reduced my Xeloda by one pill per day as well. My sense is that it is more of an art than a science with no absolute answer that applies to all of us. For the record, I am not NED, but when that lucky day comes, I plan to maintain it on a protocol I feel well on! I feel OK on the 4 Tykerb as that is all I took for a few weeks to clear the awful initial side effects of the Xeloda. I was on way to much for me, and we have found a tolerable dose.

If you are not in a trial, I do not see skewed data as an issue. Are they doing their own research without telling you?
