does anybody take Ventoclax with anything other than water ? I just wondered as I drink plenty of water but would like an alternative. Thankyou

Water is best, but you can drink anything which doesn't interact with venetoclax. You can check for interactions on drugs.com

I found that supplementing with ice tea can break up the monotony. There are many ways to flavor ice tea, and water as well. Tonic water with limeade can also be refreshing.

Be cautious about too much caffeine and sweeteners.

In summer I was fine with water as that's what I generally drink but also some juice. I also like the vitamin tablets that dissolve in water. In winter I drink tea a lot (camomile, mint, fruit tea) - I make a big jug.

I would swallow the pills with sips from a smoothie because I had trouble getting them down with just water. Then after I had swallowed them, I would drink a glass of water.

Hello

I dilute cranberry, cherry or pomegranate juice. Works for me.

All the best

My partner puts a pill in a spoonful of yoghurt and has them that way. Then drinks a glass of water afterwards. This is what they did in the hospital.

Do you have to drink a whole glass of water with one pill?

no but they are quite large tablets so I find you have to drink quite a lot

Since I take them after lunch, I just drink whatever I'm drinking at lunch. Water, tea, snapple.
