I have found that taking Tykerb before bedtime has helped me avoid some of the symptoms. When I started Tykerb I was taking it in the daytime and I realized it caused some stomach indigestion. I switched to the night schedule and now I do not suffer with that issue anymore.

I do take the over the counter drug Imodium and use a bulk diet to fight off the other famous side effect of diarrhea. So far it has worked well. I take Tykerb with Xeloda and both drugs are very tolerable.
One last thing, it is very important to take your dose all at once as this allows it to be properly ingested.

I wish you the best!
