Is Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets suitable for patients with cold stomach?

Generally, patients with cold stomach can take Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets in moderation, but should avoid excessive intake to prevent discomfort. Detailed analysis is as follows:

Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets are composed of ingredients such as Pseudostellaria root, tangerine peel, Chinese yam, stir-fried barley malt, and hawthorn. The overall formula is mild in nature and possesses functions of enhancing gastric motility and promoting digestion. It can help alleviate symptoms such as loss of appetite and post-meal fullness caused by weakened digestive function in patients with cold stomach. Among these ingredients, Chinese yam and Pseudostellaria root also have certain spleen-strengthening effects, and moderate use generally does not exacerbate symptoms of cold stomach.

However, it should be noted that hawthorn and stir-fried barley malt in Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets are sour in taste, and excessive intake may stimulate gastric acid secretion, irritating the sensitive gastric mucosa of patients with cold stomach, leading to discomfort such as acid regurgitation and mild stomach pain. Therefore, patients with cold stomach should control the dosage when taking this medication and avoid long-term continuous use.

Patients with cold stomach should also maintain a warm diet in daily life, avoid raw, cold, and cool foods, and appropriately consume warming foods such as ginger and lamb. At the same time, developing regular eating habits and taking a light walk after meals can help improve gastrointestinal function and reduce reliance on medications.
