Can Niu Huang Jiang Ya Wan be taken long-term?

Generally, whether Niuhuang Hypotensive Pills can be taken long-term depends on the individual patient's condition. Patients with mild hypertension can usually take Niuhuang Hypotensive Pills over a prolonged period. However, those with liver or kidney dysfunction or a history of allergies are not advised to use this medication long-term. If any adverse symptoms occur, patients should promptly seek medical attention and receive standardized treatment under a doctor's guidance. Detailed analysis is as follows:

For patients with mild hypertension or those particularly sensitive to Niuhuang Hypotensive Pills, long-term use may be acceptable under medical supervision. The medication can serve as an adjunctive treatment for hypertension and may help alleviate symptoms such as headache and insomnia to some extent.

Patients with impaired liver or kidney function, a history of allergies, or other underlying conditions may experience side effects or adverse reactions—such as dizziness or nausea—from long-term use of Niuhuang Hypotensive Pills. Furthermore, prolonged reliance on a single medication may lead to increased drug tolerance and reduced therapeutic effectiveness. Therefore, long-term use is not recommended in these cases.
