Can Hemostasis and Vision Improvement Tablets be used long-term?
He Xue Ming Mu Pian (Hemostasis and Vision-Improving Tablets) should generally not be used for prolonged periods to avoid developing dependence.
He Xue Ming Mu Pian is a traditional Chinese medicine primarily composed of herbal ingredients such as Salvia miltiorrhiza, Typha pollen, Rehmannia, chrysanthemum, Scutellaria, Cassia seeds, Plantago seeds, and others. It functions to nourish the liver and improve vision, enrich yin, resolve blood stasis, cool the blood, and stop bleeding. Clinically, it is commonly used to treat retinal hemorrhage caused by yin deficiency with hyperactive liver and heat damaging the blood vessels. Patients should strictly follow medical instructions and take the medication according to the prescribed course. Once symptoms improve and the bleeding has been gradually absorbed, continued use of the drug is typically unnecessary. Long-term use should be avoided to prevent drug dependence, accumulation of toxins in the body, adverse reactions, and negative impacts on health. Therefore, He Xue Ming Mu Pian is generally not recommended for long-term use.
In addition, during treatment with He Xue Ming Mu Pian, patients should be cautious. If combination therapy with other medications is needed, it must be done under the guidance of a physician to prevent potential drug interactions and unexpected complications.
