Is It Safe To Take Ganaton Total After Meals?
Question: Hi if ganaton total is missed before meals, can it be taken after meals with or with out a gap? If with a gap, then how many hours after can it be taken?
Brief Answer:
Take it immediately after the food in case you miss it.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your concern.
This drug is usually prescribed to before meal to stop basal acid production.
Once food enters stomach some more extra acid is produced.
This drug also counters this acid production as well, but with lesser activity.
So if you take over food, it should be immediate.
Do not offer any time gap.
Make sure you take a second dose before the next consecutive meal .
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
