Introduction
Under normal circumstances, Xiaoyao Pills and Guipi Pills can be taken together as directed by a physician. The effects of Xiaoyao Pills and Guipi Pills complement each other. When used in combination, they can synergistically regulate liver function, strengthen the spleen, nourish the blood, calm the mind, promote blood circulation, and regulate menstruation. This combination is suitable for patients with liver qi stagnation and spleen deficiency, as well as those with insufficient qi and blood. However, it should be noted that special populations such as those with allergies, excessive menstrual bleeding, and pregnant women should use them cautiously to avoid adverse reactions.

Generally speaking, Xiaoyao Pills and Guipi Pills can be taken together as directed by a physician. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Xiaoyao Pills are primarily composed of herbs such as Bupleurum (Chai Hu) and Angelica Sinensis (Dang Gui), and have functions of soothing the liver to relieve depression, strengthening the spleen and nourishing blood, and promoting blood circulation to regulate menstruation. Guipi Pills mainly contain herbs such as Codonopsis (Dang Shen) and Atractylodes (Bai Zhu), and are effective in strengthening the spleen and nourishing blood, as well as calming the mind. The therapeutic effects of Xiaoyao Pills and Guipi Pills complement each other; when used together, they can comprehensively achieve effects of liver-soothing and spleen-strengthening, blood nourishment, mind-calming, and menstrual regulation, making them suitable for patients with liver depression and spleen deficiency, or insufficiency of qi and blood. However, it should be noted that special populations such as those with allergies, excessive menstrual bleeding, and pregnant women should use these pills cautiously to avoid adverse reactions.

It is recommended that patients take the medication properly under a doctor's guidance and pay attention to dietary regulation. During the medication period, consumption of spicy, greasy, raw, cold, and other irritating foods should be avoided to prevent interference with the drug's effectiveness.
