The tablets should be taken within 1 hour of completion of morning and evening meals. The dose should be rounded to the nearest 5 mg increment. Do not start a treatment cycle of this drug until absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is 1,500/mm3 or greater or febrile neutropenia has been resolved, platelets are 75,000/mm3 or greater, and Grade 3 or 4 non-hematological adverse reactions are resolved to Grade 0 or 1.

Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
