To mitigate interference with oral medication absorption, what scheduling adjustment is advised for mallow?

Separate consumption of mallow from other oral medications by one to two hours.

A critical safety consideration when using mallow preparations, especially those rich in mucilage, involves potential drug interactions. Because the mucilage forms a physical barrier along the digestive tract lining, taking oral medications simultaneously can result in the drug being slowed down or its absorption significantly reduced. To prevent this interference, the recommended practice is to administer mallow preparations either before or, preferably, after other oral drugs with a time buffer of at least one to two hours. This waiting period allows the primary medication sufficient transit time for absorption before the mallow's comprehensive coating mechanism becomes fully established.
