I started taking Glivec 400mg daily over two months ago. I am sure I read somewhere that it could be taken in two halves at different times of day to reduce side effects.
I started splitting the pill in half about three weeks ago and taking one half after breakfast and the other half after evening meal. This has virtually eliminated the nausea I was getting.
My consultant asked me about a week ago if this was OK and whether it would be better taken as two 100mg pills each time. It seems to still be working (I reached haematological response after one month), so I have carried on doing it my way. Now I can't find any reference to it, other than an earlier post which says that 400mg daily should be taken in one hit.
Does anyone have any information?
