Hi,
Can anyone on the above tell me how they manage to take it 12 hours between with food. It doesn't seem possible to me. Thanks
Hi Lolly P, I don’t have capecitabine but when I’ve had to take tablets with food I’ve normally had first dose with breakfast at say 7am and then had maybe some cereal or saved my supper till a bit later at 7pm and then taken the second dose.
I would check with your BCN perhaps you don’t have to have a full meal or lots of food you might be able to just have a snack with them like a couple of biscuits just so there is something in your stomach.
Hope there is someone else on capecitabine that can let you know how they manage.
