Question

when I take medicine that time name of allah i.e. bismillah

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Your question is not clear. However, when you take medicine, do recite Bismillah at that time. Medicines are means of cure. Allah puts effect in the means adopted. Bismillah is effective in invoking Allah’s mercy and cure.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
