Side effects of taking Liuwei Dihuang Pills

I believe everyone is familiar with Liuwei Dihuang Pills. Even if you have not used this medicine, you should have heard of it. Generally speaking, the main function of this medicine is to help nourish the kidneys. Some people with kidney deficiency can generally use this medicine. It can also help relieve some symptoms of lack of energy and soreness in the waist and knees. Many people agree that Liuwei Dihuang Pills are effective, but there are also side effects.

The components of Liuwei Dihuang Pills are mainly Chinese herbal ingredients such as Poria cocos, Chinese yam, Alisma orientalis, etc. Not everyone can take Liuwei Dihuang Pills. There are several types of people who will definitely experience some side effects after taking them. Everyone should be aware of this.

Some people should not eat

1. Healthy people

For normal people, if there are no obvious symptoms of kidney yin deficiency, it is not suitable to take Liuwei Dihuang Pills for a long time on your own.

2. People with obvious yang deficiency (including kidney yang deficiency and spleen yang deficiency) should not take this medicine.

People with kidney yang deficiency have pale complexion, weak constitution, and prefer summer to winter. Such people are not suitable for taking Liuwei Dihuang Pills. Many patients with erectile dysfunction caused by insufficient kidney yang continue to take Liuwei Dihuang Pills, which will make their symptoms worse. Professor Peng specifically reminded that they should choose medicines to treat kidney yang deficiency, such as Jinkui Shenqi Pills.

3. People with kidney yin deficiency but poor spleen and stomach function

Liuwei Dihuang Pills are a yin-tonifying medicine. There are more yin-soft medicines in the formula, which will hinder digestion after taking. Middle-aged and elderly people generally have weak spleen and stomach functions, so they should be more cautious when taking the medicine. If you take it intermittently, the effect will not be significant; but if you take it continuously for a long time, it is not advisable.

The above is an introduction to the side effects of taking Liuwei Dihuang Pills. I hope it can arouse everyone’s vigilance. We must learn more about some side effects of drugs so that we can avoid these side effects as much as possible when using drugs. It is best to consult a doctor before using the medication.
