Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 H, I am providing information from a different direction. I had a stomach virus this weekend and skipped my 400Mg dose Sunday night. Good thing as I would have " lost it " anyway. But Monday, last night, I had a senior moment and could not remember taking the pills. So I wrestled with a decision and took 4 " more " . Well I said " more " because 4 hours later, my stomach was burning. I made it through the night but woke up mentally beat up. I can't imagine doing that every day - but my guess is that you 800mg folks split it up 400 at a time. Anyway - I am looking forward to getting through today. All the best, Chris > From: Shipley <paulorkay (DOT) com> > Subject: [ ] : Glivec 800mg/PENNY > groups (DOT) com > Date: Monday, January 12, 2009, 8:04 PM > > ----- > .

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I switched from the 100 mg to the 400 mg because I read somewhere the 400 mg seemed to be easier on the stomach- something about the release.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Chris The 800mg dose - information in pkt states that glivec to be taken in two doses - 400mg am and 400mg pm I am on 600mg - 1 x 400mg dose and 2 x 100mg dose I take this at the same time but have been advised if I wish I can split this dose as well Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Sue Thanks for your response. I took 800mg (at once) by accident - and rest assured I will try to not make that mistake again. Be good!
