Introduction

In general, whether Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets can relieve gastric distension needs to be determined based on the specific cause of the distension. If gastric distension persists for a long time or symptoms worsen, prompt medical attention is recommended. Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets should be taken according to the dosage instructions and should not be taken in excess. A light diet is advised during treatment, and consumption of raw, cold, greasy, or gas-producing foods should be avoided. Use with caution in individuals with allergic constitutions.

Generally speaking, whether Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets can relieve gastric distension depends on the specific cause of the gastric distension. If the gastric distension persists for a long time or symptoms worsen, timely medical attention is recommended. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If gastric distension is caused by improper diet, such as overeating or consuming excessive fatty or gas-producing foods leading to food accumulation and difficult digestion in the stomach, taking Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets may help alleviate symptoms. The ingredients in Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets, such as Radix Pseudostellariae (Taizi Shen), aged tangerine peel (Chenpi), hawthorn (Shanzha), etc., can promote gastrointestinal motility, enhance digestive enzyme activity, accelerate food digestion and absorption, and reduce the feeling of fullness in the stomach.

If gastric distension is caused by diseases such as gastritis, peptic ulcer, or pyloric obstruction, where inflammation or damage to the gastric mucosa exists along with gastrointestinal motility disorders, Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets alone may not effectively relieve symptoms. In such cases, treatment should target the underlying cause, as Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets cannot eliminate inflammation or resolve obstruction issues. Taking them blindly may delay treatment and potentially worsen discomfort due to gastric irritation.

Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets should be taken according to the dosage instructions provided and should not be taken in excess. A light diet is recommended during treatment, avoiding raw, cold, fatty, or easily gas-producing foods. Patients with allergic constitutions should use cautiously, and those allergic to any component of the medication should not use it. It is advisable to develop regular eating habits and chew food thoroughly to reduce the occurrence of gastric distension.
