Can elderly people frequently consume Xuesaitong?
Xuesaotong is commonly available in capsule, tablet, and injectable forms. Generally, elderly individuals with ischemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases but no tendency to bleed may take Xuesaotong regularly as directed by a physician. However, individuals with bleeding disorders or allergic reactions to its components should not take it regularly. If any abnormalities occur, prompt medical attention is recommended. Detailed explanations are as follows:
For elderly patients suffering from ischemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral infarction and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, regular use of Xuesaotong after physician evaluation may improve blood circulation and alleviate related symptoms. In such cases, coagulation function should be monitored regularly to ensure medication safety, and Xuesaotong should be used in conjunction with treatment for underlying conditions to provide adjunctive benefits.
If elderly individuals have bleeding disorders such as gastric ulcers or thrombocytopenia, long-term use of Xuesaotong may increase the risk of bleeding, potentially leading to gastrointestinal hemorrhage or subcutaneous bruising. Individuals allergic to components of Xuesaotong may experience allergic reactions such as rash or difficulty breathing after taking it. Continuing medication in such cases may pose risks to health.
Elderly individuals must strictly follow medical advice when taking Xuesaotong and should not adjust the dosage or duration of use without guidance. If any adverse reactions occur, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention.
