Can patients with gastroenteritis take Hewei Zhengchang Wan?

Hewei Zhengchang Wan may be used for acute gastroenteritis. In cases of acute gastroenteritis, it is important to determine whether the condition was triggered by consumption of contaminated food—such as improperly prepared, spoiled, or undercooked food—or by dietary indiscretion. During recovery, patients should follow a light, bland diet, avoiding spicy, raw, cold, or irritating foods, as well as overly greasy meals and alcohol. A vegetarian diet is recommended whenever possible. If symptom relief is inadequate after medication, medical evaluation is advised. Stool tests—including fecal occult blood testing—may be performed to identify potential bacterial or viral infections, enabling more targeted treatment. When necessary, colonoscopy may be indicated.

Hewei Zhengchang Wan is primarily indicated for diarrhea and abdominal distension caused by pathogenic factors stagnating in the middle jiao (the epigastric region), and may also relieve epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting. It is suitable for patients with acute gastritis or acute enteritis. During treatment, patients should avoid spicy and greasy foods. If symptoms do not improve within several days of taking the medication, prompt medical consultation is recommended. The product must not be used if its physical properties (e.g., color, odor, texture) have changed. Prior to combining this medication with other drugs, patients must consult a physician or pharmacist.

Always consult your physician before initiating any medication. We hope this information is helpful to you!
