Re: Lapatnib & Liquor? or Tykerb & Tequila?
Denise,
I haven't seen anything that says you must not have any alcohol with Tykerb. MJ enjoys a Blue Moon beer or two every now and then. There needs to be a balance with quality of life too I think.
@Chrisy, I know we were told to not drink grapefruit juice and to take Tykerb on an empty stomach for some reason, but did you see the link posted by gdpawel on the Xeloda and Tykerb thread in the Herceptin / Tykerb forum? Here's the link. Interesting I thought.
