      When taking the medicine, follow the instructions in the instructions to "use after meals" and take the medicine immediately after eating.

      “"Use after meals" actually means "use after 30 minutes after meals". If you take medicine immediately after eating, the medicine will be mixed with undigested food in the stomach. The medicine that is originally absorbed through the stomach to be effective is eventually sent to the small intestine together with the food without being broken down and digested. It cannot have the desired medicinal effect. 30 minutes after a meal, food digestion is basically completed and gastric acidity gradually recovers. Drinking medicine at this time can be well absorbed and digested in the stomach and achieve the desired effect.

      Correct medication method:

      About 30 minutes before eating

      About 30 minutes after eating

      2 hours after eating before meals

      Only by strictly adhering to the above eating methods can the effectiveness of the medicine be maximized.
