It is recommended to take Shan Mai Jian Pi Kou Yu (oral liquid) to assist absorption, and oral Huo Xiang Chong Ji. Do not overeat to give your stomach and intestines a rest. Drink plenty of water. It is best to receive intravenous treatment because taking medication may cause nausea, especially for drugs with severe gastrointestinal reactions.

Maintain a light diet, drink plenty of water, and ensure adequate fluid digestion.
