Can I take Huahong tablets during my menstrual period?

If women experience related symptoms during their menstrual period, they can generally take Huahong tablets as directed by a physician. If women do not have relevant indications or have other discomforts, they usually should not take them.

Huahong tablet is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation primarily used to alleviate gynecological inflammation, dysmenorrhea, and related symptoms. If a patient experiences symptoms such as dysmenorrhea or poor menstrual flow during her period and the physician determines that Huahong tablets are suitable for treating these symptoms, then under the physician's guidance, it is acceptable to take Huahong tablets in moderation during the menstrual period. Huahong tablets help promote blood circulation and resolve blood stasis, and regulate menstruation to relieve pain, which may help alleviate related symptoms.

Huahong tablets have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing meridian blockages, which may accelerate the circulation of blood in the endometrium, thus increasing menstrual flow. For women who naturally have heavy menstrual flow or prolonged periods, taking Huahong tablets may worsen bleeding, and even lead to anemia. Huahong tablets may irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, cause gastrointestinal spasms, and subsequently induce uterine spasms, leading to exacerbated dysmenorrhea or increased discomfort during menstruation.

Close attention should be paid to bodily reactions while taking Huahong tablets. If symptoms such as sudden increase in menstrual flow or persistent abdominal pain occur, the medication should be discontinued immediately and medical attention sought. Cold, raw, and spicy foods should be avoided while taking Huahong tablets, and abdominal warmth should be maintained.
