Introduction
Butylphthalide is generally taken for 20 days, followed by a break of 3 to 7 days. A 20-day course of butylphthalide constitutes one treatment cycle. After this period, medication may be paused for approximately 3 to 7 days depending on the control of the condition. However, the specific usage and dosage should be determined according to the progression of the disease and must follow the doctor's instructions. Blind or excessive use of the drug should be avoided, as it may otherwise fail to achieve the intended therapeutic effect.

A full course of butylphthalide treatment typically lasts 20 days. After this period, medication may be paused for approximately 3 to 7 days depending on the control of the condition. However, the specific usage and schedule should strictly follow medical advice based on individual disease progression. Blind or excessive use of the drug should be avoided, as it may fail to achieve therapeutic goals and could negatively impact health.
Butylphthalide is commonly used to treat ischemic cerebrovascular diseases. Its active ingredient, butylphthalide, helps eliminate oxygen free radicals and enhances antioxidant enzyme activity. By improving blood flow and circulation in ischemic brain areas, increasing capillary density, and reducing cerebral edema, the drug effectively helps prevent the formation of cerebral thrombosis.
During treatment, it is important to get adequate rest and avoid prolonged熬夜 (staying up late). Ensure sufficient sleep each day, and maintain a diet rich in high-vitamin and high-protein foods.
