Capecitabine tablets

Hi Jkee, I was told that the 12 hrs isn't set in stone. I took mine after breakfast, about 9.00 and after supper about 7.30. I was told just to make sure I had them within  half an hour of eating, to protect the stomach. You could just check with the oncologist or your colorectal team to make sure. John

Thankyou think I will have to do evening meal later xx

I just changed my habits for the duration.of each cycle. I had breakfast ( a slice of toast & honey, which is adequate,) at 7am, then supper at 7pm.

Hi

Hi Jkee I too was told that a couple of biscuits or slice of toast was sufficient so you could check with your chemo team to see if that’s still the case? x

Thankyou we have decided to do biscuits thankyou all again xx

Hi. I had the same problems. Spoke to my oncologist and she said it’s about 10/12 hours gap.  Just need to balance so as not to over concentrate the dosage. 

good luck. 

Thankyou seems a long road ahead but will try 10 to 12 hours with antisickness as well x
