Special Advise

  • Regular blood tests are recommended to monitor the levels of Hopstin Forte Inj in blood and kidney functioning.
  • Inform your anaesthetist that you are taking Hopstin Forte Inj as it may increase the effects of muscle relaxants used in general anaesthesia.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Take probiotics after completing the full course of Hopstin Forte Inj to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Certain fermented foods like cheese, yogurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi can restore the good bacteria of the intestine.
  • Include fiber-rich foods, as they can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fiber-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains such as whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.
  • Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids every day while you are taking Hopstin Forte Inj.
  • Avoid alcohol consumption as it may increase adverse effects.
