Step 1:
Place your daily dose, up to 5 capsules, in a small container or oral syringe (approximately 20 mL capacity).

Add 3 mL of water or apple juice to the container or oral syringe. Wait 10 minutes for the capsule shell (outer surface) to dissolve completely, then stir or shake the mixture for 3 minutes until capsules are fully dissolved. Do not break or crush the capsules.
Step 3:
Drink the liquid mixture or use an oral syringe to take directly into the mouth.
Step 4:
Next, using a second syringe, add an additional 2 mL of liquid to the container or oral syringe (cap the first oral syringe before adding the additional water) then swirl or shake and take the liquid mixture. Repeat this step at least one time and until you cannot see any of the LENVIMA mixture left in the container or oral syringe to make sure all of the medicine is taken.
