How long were you taking Tagrisso when you developed a cough?
Yes, when I was waiting to see my doctor, she heard me coughing and told me to stop taking Tagrisso because it might be causing inflammation in my lungs. She prescribed me steroids and Prilosec and wants a CT scan of my chest and lungs. She also told me that my PetScan results remained unchanged.

1 ReactionI have been on Tagrisso for a little over a year. I started by taking it after lunch, but it irritated my stomach and I could barely eat 2 or 3 bites of Dinner. I moved it to 8 pm and it is better. I also had several sessions of acupuncture which greatly reduced stomach issues. I hope this helps.

1 ReactionWelcome, @camiladeline. i moved your question about the best time of day to take Tagrisso to this active discussion:

I did this so you can read previous posts and connect with others on Tagrisso like @babs1956 @acguidon @camorton47 @firefly33 @whahoo and many others who may have thoughts about time of day and whether taking at night worked for them.
Camiladeline, how are you doing? This must be all so new.
