What time do you take Sprycel?

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering what time of day people are taking their Sprycel medication.  I

have started to take it in the morning as opposed to the evening, due to the

increase in weight gain I have experienced on my new dosage of 140mg.  I have

also noticed in the last two weeks more bloating in the upper and lower GI

especially in the evening.  I am trying to stay away from caffeine, processed

foods, alcohol as that dehydrates your intestinal tract, and I am wondering it

then with the Sprycel my body is doubling up on fluid retention.

Any thoughts on that?

Also I have a dosage of 70 mg tablets, has anyone tried one in the morning one

in the evening?  I was told that the side effects are more if you take two 70 mg

pills a day as opposed to one 140mg dosage a day.  Anyone have any comments on

that?

Thanks so much for your information; it is very helpful.
