Michele
My RX label says take 2 hours after a meal or 1 hour before a meal.
I take my Tykerb before bedtime. I was told to take the dose all at once.
If you break up the dose, the body will metabolize the drugs differently and it will act like an over dose. So it is very important that you take all of the pills at once.

Also No grapefruit of any kind, this has an adverse effect on the Tykerb.

Good Luck to you.
