Can Danshu Capsules treat gallstones?

Generally, Danshu Capsules are a traditional Chinese medicine primarily used to relieve pain and inflammation caused by cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. However, they cannot directly dissolve or eliminate gallstones. If discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation and treatment at a正规 hospital. Detailed analysis is as follows:

The herbal ingredients in Danshu Capsules help regulate biliary tract function, promote smooth bile excretion, and reduce irritation caused by bile stasis to the gallbladder and bile ducts. This helps alleviate discomfort such as pain and abdominal bloating caused by cholecystitis, while also exerting a certain inhibitory effect on inflammatory responses, thus relieving inflammatory symptoms associated with cholelithiasis. However, gallstones are formed from cholesterol crystals and bilirubin deposits, which are hard in texture. This medication cannot break down these crystals or deposits, nor can it fragment or expel existing stones; therefore, it cannot directly dissolve or remove gallstones.

Danshu Capsules should be taken strictly according to the prescribed dosage and duration as directed by a physician. Do not adjust the dose or extend the treatment period without authorization. If symptoms fail to improve or worsen after taking the medication, or if adverse reactions such as nausea or rash occur, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention. During treatment, maintain a light diet and avoid greasy and spicy foods. Regular follow-up examinations are necessary to monitor the condition of the gallbladder and gallstones, and treatment plans should be adjusted accordingly based on disease progression.
