Introduction
Whether patients with tenosynovitis can use Huoxue Zhitong ointment depends on whether they are allergic to its components. If there is no known allergy to the drug's ingredients, it is generally safe to use and can effectively relieve pain symptoms. However, individuals with sensitive constitutions or allergies to the medication's components should usually avoid using it. For severe pain, additional treatment with naproxen capsules or ibuprofen sustained-release capsules should be followed as directed by a physician.
Whether patients with tenosynovitis can use Huoxue Zhitong plasters should be determined under a doctor's guidance, based on whether there is an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients in the medication. Specific details are as follows:
1. Can be used
Huoxue Zhitong plaster is primarily composed of herbal ingredients such as dried ginger, rhubarb, angelica root, borneol, frankincense, and valerian, which function as a blood-activating and meridian-unblocking agent. It effectively relaxes tendons, unblocks meridians, promotes blood circulation, and relieves pain. If the patient does not have allergies to any of these components, it is generally safe to use and can effectively alleviate pain symptoms.
2. Cannot be used
Due to the complex composition of the Huoxue Zhitong plaster, patients with sensitive constitutions who are allergic to certain ingredients should generally avoid using it, as it may otherwise trigger allergic reactions.
In addition, for patients experiencing particularly severe pain, anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications such as naproxen capsules, ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, or celecoxib capsules should be added according to medical advice.
