　　Under normal circumstances, the side effects of Fufang Danshen Dripping Pills may include dry mouth and bitter taste, bleeding tendency, increased burden on the liver, dizziness and headache, allergic reactions, etc. It is recommended to take the medication as directed by a physician. Detailed analysis is as follows:

　　1. Dry mouth and bitter taste

　　Components in Fufang Danshen Dripping Pills, such as Borneol, have a certain heat-clearing effect, but may also reduce the secretion of saliva in the mouth, causing patients to experience sensations of dryness and bitterness. These symptoms may persist for a period of time after taking the medication, affecting the patient's oral comfort.

　　2. Bleeding tendency

　　Salvia miltiorrhiza has certain blood-activating and stasis-resolving effects. Long-term or excessive use of Fufang Danshen Dripping Pills may increase the risk of bleeding. For patients with abnormal coagulation function or those currently taking anticoagulant medications, this may lead to prolonged coagulation time and symptoms such as nosebleeds, gum bleeding, or subcutaneous bruising.

　　3. Increased burden on the liver

　　Drugs need to be metabolized through the liver, and some components in Fufang Danshen Dripping Pills may place a certain burden on the liver. Particularly for patients with impaired liver function, long-term use may lead to abnormal liver function indicators, such as elevated transaminase levels, affecting the liver's normal function.

　　4. Dizziness and headache

　　The medication may dilate blood vessels, alter cerebral blood flow, or stimulate the nervous system, potentially causing some patients to experience symptoms of dizziness and headache after taking Fufang Danshen Dripping Pills.

　　5. Allergic reactions

　　Patients allergic to certain components of Fufang Danshen Dripping Pills may experience allergic symptoms such as rash and itching after taking the medication. Rashes may manifest as erythema, papules, and other forms, with varying degrees of itching that may severely impact the patient's quality of life.

　　Although Fufang Danshen Dripping Pills have therapeutic effects on cardiovascular diseases, they may also cause a series of side effects. Therefore, during use, it is important to follow medical advice, pay attention to bodily reactions, and seek timely medical attention for any discomfort symptoms.
