How often do you take Chinese medicine after meals?


Restoring health, one step at a time.
It is more appropriate to take Chinese medicine about 1 hour after a meal.
Taking Chinese medicine immediately after a meal may affect the efficacy. Because just after a meal, the stomach is full of food, taking Chinese medicine at this time may mix with food, affecting the absorption speed and degree of the drug, resulting in the drug effect can not be fully exerted. And wait for about 1 hour, the stomach food gets a certain degree of digestion and emptying, then taking Chinese medicine, can reduce food interference on drug absorption, conducive to better play the role of drugs. In addition, taking Chinese medicine too long after a meal is not appropriate. If the interval is too long, it may lead to irregular taking time of traditional Chinese medicine, which is not conducive to maintaining effective drug concentration in the body.
