Ibrutinib: This is not a medication that I prescribe but review of dosing indicates that the pills are taken once a day. See: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2013/205552lbl.pdf Always feel free to consult with your pharmacist or the prescribing doctor. Take care.

All together: All of the pills should be taken at the same time in order to get a high level of the drug within the bloodstream. Watch out for the side effects of bleeding as well as an abnormal heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation.
