Can Compound Danshen Tablets be taken for a long time?

Whether it is human beings, animals or plants, they will all grow old, get sick and die one day. However, life is only once for everyone, and it is very hard to come by. Therefore, people have gone from having no way to deal with diseases to being full of confidence now, and they have also experienced countless difficulties and unremitting efforts. This not only means a longer life for people, but also an endless sense of pride. People use their smart minds to create a variety of medicines to treat different diseases.

People always say that "all medicines are poisonous". Even though people create medicines to cure diseases, there are still things in these medicines that harm people's bodies, and this is unavoidable with modern technology. Just like the compound Danshen tablets that people know about, everyone knows its value, so can it be used for a long time?

The main ingredient of Compound Danshen Tablets is Danshen, supplemented with Panax notoginseng and borneol. It is a commonly used cardiovascular Chinese patent medicine for promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, regulating qi and relieving pain. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, Danshen is cold in nature, bitter in taste, belongs to the heart meridian and pericardium meridian, can dredge blood vessels, and is good at promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Modern medical research shows that Danshen has obvious effects such as dilating coronary arteries, slowing down heart rate, improving myocardial hypoxia, inhibiting platelet aggregation, reducing blood viscosity, reducing blood lipids, resisting red blood cell aggregation, and alleviating atherosclerosis. At the same time, Danshen also has the effects of preventing thrombosis, anticoagulation and improving microcirculation. Panax notoginseng is also known as Panax notoginseng. Li Shizhen, a famous pharmacist in the Ming Dynasty, called it "gold is not replaceable". The Qing Dynasty pharmaceutical work "Supplement to Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Sanqi is the best blood tonic", its greatest effect is to stop bleeding, disperse blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain, can dilate blood vessels, lower blood pressure, resist myocardial ischemia and arrhythmia. Borneol can open all the orifices, disperse stagnation, remove cataracts and improve eyesight,

Reduce swelling and relieve pain. Compound Danshen Tablets organically combines these three Chinese medicines, with reliable efficacy and few side effects. At present, it is one of the most commonly used Chinese patent medicines for cardiovascular disease patients. However, it should be noted that if patients take Compound Danshen Tablets for a long time, they may

The following side effects occur.

1. Decreased blood potassium. Long-term use of compound Danshen tablets may cause decreased blood potassium and lead to hypokalemia. Clinically, it has been found that patients with coronary heart disease may experience symptoms of hypokalemia such as abdominal distension and fatigue after taking compound Danshen tablets for one month. This is because taking Danshen causes vasodilation, which significantly increases glomerular filtration and renal blood flow, leading to increased potassium excretion in urine, thus causing decreased blood potassium.

2. Decreased heart function. The content of borneol in compound Danshen tablets is relatively high. Borneol is cold and has the characteristics of aromatic movement. Short-term use can clear away heat and detoxify, but long-term use can damage Yang Qi and cause decreased heart function. It is especially not suitable for patients with cold constitution to take it for a long time.

As for drugs, all of them are toxic. Even the most effective and expensive drugs are bound to cause some harm. Therefore, for people, the road of medical research is still long, and people need to put in more effort to produce better drugs. For ordinary people, it is best to protect themselves and try not to get sick.
