Generally, the side effects of Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills may include gastrointestinal discomfort, allergic reactions, changes in menstrual flow, dizziness and fatigue, and effects on liver and kidney function. It is recommended to take the medication as directed by a physician. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Gastrointestinal Discomfort

Certain medicinal ingredients in Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills may be irritating and could affect normal gastrointestinal motility and secretion of digestive fluids, thereby impairing digestion and causing symptoms such as loss of appetite.

Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills contain complex ingredients. For individuals with allergic constitutions, certain components may be recognized by the immune system as foreign antigens, triggering immune responses and causing symptoms such as rashes and itching.

3. Changes in Menstrual Flow

Since Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills have the function of soothing the liver, regulating qi, and adjusting menstruation, for women whose menstrual cycles and flow are already normal, taking the medication may lead to increased menstrual flow or prolonged menstruation. Its regulatory effect on the endocrine system may affect the normal shedding of the endometrium.

4. Dizziness and Fatigue

During the metabolic process in the body, the medication may affect the normal functioning of the nervous system, causing symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue in some individuals. These symptoms may be more pronounced when the medication is taken on an empty stomach or in high doses.

5. Effects on Liver and Kidney Function

Although Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills are traditional Chinese medicine preparations, long-term or excessive use requires the ingredients to be metabolized through the liver and kidneys, which may increase the burden on these organs and affect their function. This is particularly important for individuals with pre-existing liver or kidney insufficiency, who should exercise greater caution.

If any abnormalities occur during the use of Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills, do not panic; consult a physician promptly. The physician will provide professional advice and management based on the specific situation.
