How do you take Xeloda?

[DonnaNY]

Hi all , My mom has a paralyzing fear of swallowing pills , so she has to crush or break up any pills she takes. But we are unsure if this is ok to do with the Xeloda, we are going to ask DR and Pharmasist. But I was curious if anyone else has the same fear and crushes up, or breaks thier Xeloda pill? Thanks everyone.

I know that the Xeloda pamphlet states "do not crush, break or dissolve" Xeloda.

Here are some websites that may give you more info:

Best of luck to your mom!
