Taking Smecta 2 hours after Cortiment MMX should not significantly affect the effectiveness of the drug, but it is always worth following the specialist's recommendations.
Cortiment MMX is a medicine containing extended-release budesonide, used to treat inflammation of the large intestine. Take the tablets whole, preferably before or with a meal, as directed by your doctor.
Smecta is a medication used for gastrointestinal discomfort that works mainly topically and can affect the absorption of other medications if used in close succession.
It is recommended that the time interval between drugs be maintained so that the effectiveness of Cortiment MMX is not reduced, especially since it is an extended-release drug. An interval of 2 hours is usually sufficient to avoid interactions and maintain the efficacy of budesonide.
