Is Leonurus膏 for oral use?

Motherwort膏 is an oral medication belonging to traditional Chinese patent medicine, primarily used for regulating menstrual-related issues in women. It exerts its therapeutic effects through gastrointestinal absorption after oral administration and should be taken according to dosage instructions under the guidance of a doctor or pharmacist. If symptoms such as increased abdominal pain, allergic reactions, or no improvement in menstrual abnormalities occur after taking the medication, prompt medical attention is recommended.

Motherwort膏 contains motherwort (Leonurus japonicus) as its main ingredient and has the effect of promoting blood circulation and regulating menstruation. It is commonly used to treat menstrual disorders caused by blood stasis, such as scanty menstruation, prolonged spotting, and dysmenorrhea, helping improve blood flow and uterine circulation, thereby regulating the menstrual cycle.

When taking Motherwort膏, attention should be paid to the appropriate user population. Pregnant women are prohibited from using it to avoid inducing miscarriage; those with excessive menstrual bleeding should use it cautiously to prevent worsening hemorrhage; individuals with underlying conditions such as hypertension or heart disease should only use it after evaluation by a physician to prevent adverse interactions between the drug components and pre-existing health conditions.

During treatment, diet should be warm, mild, and light, avoiding raw, cold, or spicy foods. Maintain regular sleep patterns and avoid staying up late or overexertion. If concomitant use with other medications is necessary, administer them at least 1–2 hours apart to prevent potential drug interactions and ensure safe medication use.
