Calquence going from capsules to tablets

6 Replies

Hi everyone,

I just reached out to my specialty pharmacy to order my refill of Calquence and was told that as of last month they are switching over from the capsules to tablet form.

I am very happy with the capsules, they are small and easy to swallow. I'm now afraid that the new tablets might be big and harder to swallow. I hope not!

Has anyone received the new tablets yet, if so, could you please share a picture so I can see what they look like. The person I spoke to couldn't give me an answer.

Wishing you all well.

Thanks!

I now have the tablets. I find them actually smaller than capsules and easier to swallow. I have no issues with the new tablets after taking them for almost a month.

All the Best to you !

I would compare the size to say a regular advil 🤷🏻‍♀️ I thought I would not like them because capsules were easy to swallow but these new tablets for me are just as easy to swallow. They have a coating on them. Hope this helps 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great news, I was hoping they were small and not horse pills. One of those is enough for me! lol Thanks!
