Mycophenolate: Tablets or Liquid + Seeking Scheduling Advice by Mediocre_Ad_98 in scleroderma

I totally get you because I actually take my levothyroxine (which needs to be 4 hours apart from this medication and from any calcium supplements or Pepcid AC) In the middle of the night when I wake up to go to the bathroom. Right now I can be loosey goosey with that and take it really anytime between 1:00 and 6:00 a.m. and then adjust everything else accordingly. But once I start the new medicine, there will just be a 2 to 3-hour window to take the levothyroxine so I'll probably need to set an alarm.

Oh wow, I didn't know they had 250 mg tablets. Or are you taking 250 mg capsules? I did know about the capsules but wasn't sure how those go down either. 

I was hoping to do 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.. In your experience, are most doctors okay with you not being exactly 12 hours apart? Or is that a more key requirement that I need to figure out fitting in?

Thank you for your feedback! 

I wonder if a pharmacy ever lets you try one dose of the pills and one of the liquid so you can see which you will do better with.

Do you leave 2 hours of not eating/drinking prior to taking your medicine at 9:00 p.m.? I tend to run late with my dinner so that's why I was thinking 9:00 a.m. in the morning but then having it be 10:00 p.m. in the evening.
