Do not take indigestion remedies (antacids) within at least two hours of taking Anticox 4 Kit. Finish the full course of the medication even if you feel better. Stopping the course early increases the risk of coming back of the infection.
Take Anticox 4 Kit on an empty stomach, at least one hour before and two hours after a meal, with a full glass of water.
