Antiviral granules and Lianhua Qingwen capsules are usually taken together. Antiviral granules exert antiviral effects, and Lianhua Qingwen capsules also have certain antiviral properties. Taking these two medications together typically does not result in opposing drug interactions; instead, their combined use may enhance therapeutic efficacy, promoting faster recovery from illness. However, specific dosages should be followed according to medical advice, and medication should not be taken blindly.
