Introduction
If a pregnant woman suffers from liver diseases such as chronic hepatitis, and after thorough examination and diagnosis by a specialized physician, it is confirmed that the condition requires treatment with垂盆草片 (Herba Sedum Tablets) for liver protection and enzyme reduction, and after a comprehensive assessment of the potential effects of the medication on both the pregnant woman and the fetus, it is determined that the therapeutic benefits outweigh possible risks, then the medication may be taken strictly under medical supervision, with controlled dosage and duration of treatment.

Pregnant women can take Shear Grass Tablets only when a doctor evaluates that the benefits outweigh the risks and there is a clear medical indication for use. They should not take Shear Grass Tablets when there is no medical necessity or potential risk. If any abnormalities occur, prompt medical attention is recommended. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If a pregnant woman suffers from liver disease, such as chronic hepatitis, and after thorough examination and diagnosis by a qualified physician, it is confirmed that Shear Grass Tablets are required for liver protection and enzyme reduction therapy, the drug's effects on both the pregnant woman and the fetus should be comprehensively evaluated. If the therapeutic benefits are determined to outweigh the potential risks, the medication may be taken under strict adherence to medical instructions, with controlled dosage and duration of treatment. Close monitoring of physical responses and fetal development is necessary in such cases.

However, if a pregnant woman's liver function is normal and there are no conditions warranting the use of Shear Grass Tablets, or if mild discomfort can be relieved through dietary adjustments and rest, taking the medication is not advisable. Additionally, if the pregnant woman has an allergic reaction to the components of Shear Grass Tablets, or has other medical conditions that could interact adversely with the medication, its use is strictly contraindicated to avoid affecting normal fetal development or endangering the mother's health.

Medication use during pregnancy must be approached with caution. If any health issues arise, pregnant women should not self-administer Shear Grass Tablets or other medications. Instead, they should seek timely medical consultation. A doctor will weigh the risks and benefits based on the stage of pregnancy and the severity of the condition, provide a scientifically appropriate medication plan, and ensure strict adherence to medical instructions.
