Enzar HS Capsule should be taken with food. Avoid taking this medicine with hot beverages like tea and coffee, as it may stop Enzar HS Capsule from working properly. Do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor, as your symptoms may reoccur or worsen. Enzar HS Capsule should be avoided if you are allergic to it.
