Cellcept??????????? with food or without!!!?!!!
Felt quite bright last night .. this morning not so good .. and it's Sunday which means it's bone sparing pill time!!! But am a bit better now .. it always takes me a bit of time to wake up in the mornings anyway .. felt rather more queasy than usual .. though downed a cyclizine and it helped.
Wondering about taking my cellcept differently now too .. there are differences in various instructions. The pharmacist at the hospital had thought it was the other way round .. but I hadn't seen anything about it before yesterday.. my instructions in the pack are the ones that say it doesn't make any difference .. they're from Roche.
One set of instructions

Taking Cellcept with food and drunk
Taking food and drink has no influence on your treatment with Cellcept.

Even though the manufacturer of this medicine recommends taking it on an empty stomach you will be asked to take it with food to help prevent an upset stomach.
And

Take this medicine on an empty stomach at least one hour before or two hours after eating.
Going to have to read a bit more too I guess. After reading that I might try taking it at a different time from any dairy products and see if that makes any difference.
