It is very important to take rivaroxaban with food as this increases the amount of the drug that is absorbed. Taking on an empty stomach may decrease the effectiveness of rivaroxaban. Of note, the 10 mg tablet may be taken with or without food.

Medicines taken for heartburn that reduce stomach acid can decrease absorption of dasatinib (Sprycel). Short-acting antacids can be used instead of proton pump inhibitors or H2-antagonists. Do not take antacids within 2 hours of taking dasatinib. #CEtips
