Generally speaking, tandospirone refers to tandospirone citrate tablets. Tandospirone citrate tablets may or may not cause liver damage, depending on the specific circumstances. The details are as follows:
1. Damage
Tandospirone citrate is primarily metabolized in the liver. Long-term or high-dose use may lead to impaired liver function, manifesting as elevated transaminase levels and other symptoms. There is a possibility of adverse effects on liver and kidney function as well as the digestive system. If any abnormal symptoms occur, patients should immediately discontinue the medication, receive appropriate management such as fluid replenishment, and seek timely medical attention.
2. No damage
Tandospirone citrate tablets are anxiolytic agents primarily used to relieve anxiety, manage essential hypertension, and treat peptic ulcers. Tandospirone citrate is relatively mild with generally mild side effects; common reactions include dizziness, headache, and nausea, which are usually not severe. When used at normal therapeutic doses, it does not cause liver damage.
During treatment, patients should maintain regular作息 (daily routines), avoid staying up late, ensure adequate sleep, engage in appropriate physical exercise, strictly follow medical instructions for medication, and closely monitor their condition. If any adverse reactions occur, they should seek medical care promptly and receive standardized treatment under a doctor's guidance.
