Can you drink milk during the period of drinking Chinese medicine?

Avoid drinking milk immediately during drinking Chinese medicine. You can drink milk about 1-2 hours after drinking Chinese medicine.

Chinese medicine contains different pharmaceutical ingredients, and their properties are also different. Avoid drinking milk during the treatment of diseases, because milk will form a protective film on the gastric mucosa, which will easily reduce the absorption of Chinese medicine, thus affecting the therapeutic effect of drugs. Secondly, some Chinese medicines may react with ingredients in milk, causing nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms. After drinking Chinese medicine for 1-2 hours, you can drink milk properly after the basic absorption of the medicine in the body.

Avoid eating spicy, stimulating and cold foods during drinking Chinese medicine, so as not to affect the efficacy.
