Lansoprazole and capecitabine

I was on capecitabine tablets (and Cisplatin chemo by IV & radiotherapy) and Lansoprazole in 2021. I had a stomach feeding tube as my tumour blocked my oesophagus completely. I've looked back through my paperwork - I don't remember being told to leave a specific time gap between those two medications - according to my notebook  I syringed dissolvable Lansoprazole into my stomach tube, waited 30 mins to 'eat' as per the instructions on the packet, syringed a Fortisip, waited 10 mins for that to settle, then syringed the dissolved capecitabine tablets. So it was generally about 50 mins after the Lansoprazole. 

I hope that helps. 

Thank you so much! Your response calmed my nerves that day. I completely forgot to reply so wanted to thank you now. We saw our oncologist yesterday and he said it’s fine to take as well.i hope you re well & enjoying life to the fullest ️

Hi Gabby

I'm on the Capecitabine but with Omezprezole. My instructions are 2 Capecitabine in morning and another 2, twelve hours later. Mine are 500 mg each so 1000mg in total. Everybody is different so double check with your cancer team

If I am over half hour late taking a dose it says don't take it and wait for next dose

Hope that helps 

Best wishes
