It is not recommended to take Chinese medicine and Western medicine at the same time.

After seeing a doctor, many patients will prescribe according to their conditions and personal wishes, which may include Chinese medicine decoction, Chinese medicine powder, Chinese medicine pill, Chinese patent medicine and Western medicine. This is to better treat the disease, and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine can play a better effect. However, when patients follow the doctor's instructions to take medicine, It should be noted that the prescribed Chinese medicine and Western medicine should be taken half an hour or more apart.

Patients can choose to take Chinese medicine first, and then take Western medicine after an interval of half an hour or more, or take Western medicine first and then take Chinese medicine after half an hour. The specific use of Western medicine or Chinese medicine first depends on the type of Western medicine and Chinese medicine taken and the disease treated. The main reason for doing so is to avoid certain ingredients between Chinese medicine and Western medicine entering the gastrointestinal tract and being decomposed at the same time after taking at the same time, and then there will be mutual reactions between drugs, reduce the incidence of adverse drug reactions, and better play the therapeutic role of drugs.

Therefore, it is not recommended to eat Chinese medicine and Western medicine together, and the specific taking method should be used under the guidance of a doctor
