Tenan Tablet should be taken at the same time of the day to maintain its consistent levels. It can be taken irrespective of food timings, but with water. This tablet must be taken in dose frequency and duration as prescribed by your doctor because of its high risk of habit-forming. Don't stop taking this medicine on your own.
