Hiros "Yongsheng" Chiro Slow-Release Microparticle Capsules


Hello, doctor.
I would like to ask about the Hiros capsule.
I received this medication from my doctor during a follow-up visit for relief of allergic rhinitis, but I forgot to ask him whether it should be taken after meals or if it can be taken on an empty stomach.
I came here to inquire because the pharmacist mentioned taking one capsule in the morning and one in the evening, and when feeling better, to take one at night before sleeping.

1.
Taking the medication after meals can reduce gastrointestinal irritation; if it needs to be taken on an empty stomach, it is recommended to take it with a large glass of water.
2.
This is a medication that helps alleviate symptoms and can be tapered off as directed by the physician.

More Info


When it comes to taking medications like Hiros 'Yongsheng' Capsule, it's essential to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Generally, whether to take a medication with food or on an empty stomach can significantly affect its absorption and effectiveness.
For many medications, taking them with food can help reduce gastrointestinal irritation and improve absorption. Conversely, some medications are more effective when taken on an empty stomach because food can interfere with their absorption. Unfortunately, without specific information about the ingredients and formulation of Hiros 'Yongsheng' Capsule, it's challenging to provide a definitive answer.

In the case of Hiros 'Yongsheng' Capsule, which is prescribed for alleviating allergic rhinitis, it is advisable to consult the prescribing physician or pharmacist for the best guidance. If you forgot to ask your doctor, you can also refer to the medication's packaging or patient information leaflet, which often includes instructions on whether to take it with food or on an empty stomach.

If the pharmacist mentioned taking one capsule in the morning and one at night, it might be beneficial to take them with food to minimize any potential stomach upset, especially if you have a sensitive stomach or a history of gastrointestinal issues. However, if the medication is designed to be more effective on an empty stomach, you should adhere to that guideline.

In addition to the timing of your medication, it's also crucial to consider your overall health and dietary habits, especially if you have underlying conditions such as esophageal ulcers or gastritis, as mentioned in your previous inquiries. Maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding irritants like spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol can help manage symptoms of these conditions.

If you experience any adverse effects or if your symptoms persist despite taking the medication, it's essential to follow up with your healthcare provider. They may need to adjust your treatment plan or explore other therapeutic options.

In summary, while I cannot provide a specific answer regarding the Hiros 'Yongsheng' Capsule without more information, the best course of action is to consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They can give you tailored advice based on your health status and the specific medication you are taking. Always prioritize clear communication with your healthcare team to ensure you are managing your health effectively.
