Wish I could answer: but this is REALLY a question you should ask your oncologist, who hopefully is coordinating your care. Don't be afraid to ask. It is your life and a legitimate question. Assuming the same person has prescribed both, it is probably OK to take both. However, in general, medication doses should always be separated by at least an hour. Good luck!
