Re: Started Tykerb today

When I was on Tykerb/Xeloda I had a hard time trying to figure out the dosing schedule, since Tykerb is on am empty stomach once a day, but Xeloda is with food twice a day.

At first I was waking up in the morning, taking the Tykerb, waiting an hour to eat take the Xeloda, the out the door.
That did really work for me bc I just didn't feel well running out the door to go teach Pilates after uploading all this drug.
So I made an adjustment.

Here's what worked for me - just another option...

Tykerb @ bedtime - ofcourse no food 2 hrs prior.
Xeloda w/breakfast, then 10-12hrs later, 2nd dose with dinner.

This schedule also helped me break the habit of post
dinner snacking!

Wishing you best of luck & best response with this combo~

Keep the faith~
