During the use of Jin Kui Shen Qi Wan, drinking beer is generally not recommended. Medication should be taken as directed by a physician. The specific analysis is as follows:
Jin Kui Shen Qi Wan is a traditional Chinese patent medicine primarily used to treat conditions such as edema due to kidney deficiency, soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, and oliguria or difficulty in urination. The alcohol in beer may interact chemically with the active ingredients in the medication, reducing its therapeutic effectiveness and potentially causing adverse reactions such as abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Additionally, alcohol may irritate or damage organs such as the stomach, liver, and kidneys, increasing the body's burden and hindering recovery.
Even small amounts of alcohol may affect the absorption and metabolism of the medication; however, these effects might be relatively minor or not yet apparent.
Patients should also maintain healthy lifestyle and dietary habits, avoiding spicy, raw, cold, greasy, or other irritating foods that could impair drug efficacy or worsen their condition.
