Taking Hova with food, drink, and alcohol

During treatment with Hova, it is recommended to avoid consuming alcoholic beverages.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, thinks she may be pregnant, or plans to have a child, she should consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
Due to the lack of data on safety, it is not recommended to take the medicine during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Driving and using machines

During treatment with Hova, in states of anxiety, at the recommended dose of 1 tablet, no negative effect on the ability to drive vehicles and mechanical devices has been found.
Taking the tablets as prescribed does not pose a risk of dependence on the medicine or reduce fitness the next day.

In states of tension and anxiety, 1 tablet is recommended 1 to 3 times a day.
