  • Avoid taking too much calcium, iron-enriched foods, and drinks, as it might affect the working of Nisoz-50 Capsule . 
  • Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Nisoz-50 Capsule as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Nisoz-50 Capsule in fighting off infections.
