Expert advice for Himost Cream
Together with Himost Cream, fiber rich diet containing whole grain bread and cereals, bran, fruits and green leafy vegetables, is essential to maintain healthy bowel function. Avoid taking a Himost Cream for more than 1 week, unless prescribed by the doctor, as it leads to dependency on the laxative action to produce a bowel movement. Take Himost Cream after 2 hours from other medicines, as it may interfere with the absorption of other medicines. A Himost Cream should be preferably taken at bedtime because it requires 6 to 8 hours to show impact. Himost Cream may be taken with milk or fruit juice to improve the flavor.
