Zanubrutinib

[Sepsur]

anyone taken zanubrutinib mixed in yoghurt -( too long a tale to go into) - any issues? Thank you in advance 😊

Not Zanubrutinib but when I started Ibrutinib I couldn’t swallow because the lymph nodes in my neck were swollen. Consultant checked with manufacturer who didn’t recommend crushing, but luckily a very experienced Haematology pharmacist said nonsense and told me to crush and mix with yogurt. After two weeks I was able to swallow the whole pill.

Good luck

All the guidance I’ve read says the capsules should not be opened, broken or chewed Sepsur but I do believe there is a liquid substitute which a good pharmacist should be able to advise on. I think the manufacturers would need to advise on mixing the capsule contents with yoghurt as it could impact efficacy.

They’re such huge ‘bullets’, I struggle with them too! 🥴

Hi, I would love to know the actual size of your ‘bullets’. Will measure mine too. I am currently taking 2x2 pills a day and two are taken with breakfast which is always with yoghurt. Mmmm. Didn’t think of a problem there. Thanks x
