Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Taking any allopathic medicine two hours after taking a chinese herbal soup does not decrease the chances of any drug interactions in any way. It can only not interfere with the absorption of the medicine from the stomach. You must inform your physician about the herbal preparations you ar etaking along with the regular treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
