Introduction
Black顺片 (Black Shunpian) has certain toxicity and may affect fetal development. If accidental ingestion is discovered, administration should be stopped immediately to prevent further intake of harmful substances and to avoid additional harm to the pregnant woman and fetus. Contact an obstetrician-gynecologist as soon as possible and provide detailed information regarding the dosage and timing of ingestion. The physician can assess the risks based on this information, along with the pregnant woman's medical condition and gestational age.

　　In early pregnancy, if black顺片 (Black顺片) is ingested, generally the following measures can be taken: immediately stop taking the medication, promptly inform the doctor, undergo relevant examinations, enhance prenatal monitoring, and maintain a positive mindset.

　　1. Immediately stop taking the medication: Black顺片 has certain toxicity and may affect fetal development. Once accidental ingestion is discovered, stop taking it immediately to avoid further intake of harmful substances and prevent additional harm to both the pregnant woman and the fetus.

　　2. Promptly inform the doctor: Contact an obstetrician or gynecologist as soon as possible and provide detailed information regarding dosage and timing of ingestion. Based on this information, along with the pregnant woman's health status and gestational age, the doctor can evaluate potential risks and offer professional advice and guidance.

　　3. Undergo relevant examinations: Follow the doctor's recommendations to undergo timely ultrasound examinations to monitor fetal development, checking whether the fetal pole and fetal heart are normal and examining for any structural abnormalities. Blood tests and other examinations can also be conducted to monitor maternal health indicators for early detection of any issues.

　　4. Enhance prenatal monitoring: During the remainder of the pregnancy, increase the frequency and scope of prenatal checkups. In addition to routine examinations, additional targeted tests such as Down syndrome screening, non-invasive DNA testing, and detailed anomaly scans may be required to closely monitor fetal development and detect any potential abnormalities promptly.

　　5. Maintain a positive mindset: The pregnant woman should strive to remain cheerful and avoid excessive anxiety. Although taking Black顺片 poses risks, it does not necessarily lead to severe consequences. Excessive anxiety may affect the woman's endocrine system, which could in turn affect the fetus. Therefore, it is important to actively cooperate with examinations and treatments and to approach pregnancy with a positive mindset.

　　Pregnant women should use any medications or supplements cautiously during pregnancy, especially during the early stages when embryonic development is critical. If medication is necessary for treating a medical condition, it must be done under the guidance of a qualified physician, following medical advice closely.

Black顺pian (Black顺pian) may cause a cooling effect when taken.
Some individuals have a naturally cold constitution and absorb the warming properties of Heishunpian (Radix Aconiti Praeparata) more slowly. After administration, the internal cold may not be effectively dispelled in a timely manner, and feelings of coldness may persist. It is recommended to consume warming foods such as ginger and longan together with Heishunpian, keep warm, add more clothing, and avoid staying in cold environments. Insufficient dosage of Heishunpian may fail to exert adequate warming and cold-dispersing effects, thus failing to improve the internal deficiency-cold condition.

Why does the tongue become numb after taking Heishunpian, and what should be done?
Although processed black顺片 (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) has reduced toxicity through processing, if the processing time is insufficient or the method is improper, toxic components such as residual aconitine may remain in higher amounts. This can easily stimulate the nerves after ingestion, causing symptoms such as numbness of the tongue. Discontinue use immediately, switch to black顺片 that has been properly processed and obtained through正规 channels, and monitor whether symptoms improve. Black顺片 has strict dosage requirements; overdosage can lead to excessively high drug concentrations in the body.
