Introduction

Yao Tong Ning capsules should not be taken together with mirtazapine, sertraline, or Jie Yu pills without medical supervision. These medications target pain and mental/emotional conditions respectively, and their combined use may lead to drug interactions and increase the risk of adverse reactions. Strict adherence to professional guidance is required. If dizziness, nausea, or emotional disturbances occur after combining these medications without authorization, prompt medical attention is recommended.

Qiangli Keli should not be taken together with milnacipran, sertraline, or Jieyu Pills without medical guidance. These medications target different conditions—pain and mental/emotional health—and combining them may lead to drug interactions and increase the risk of adverse effects. Professional medical advice must be strictly followed. If dizziness, nausea, or mood disturbances occur after combining these drugs without authorization, prompt medical attention is recommended.

Qiangli Keli is a traditional Chinese medicine used for low back pain caused by cold-dampness and blood stasis. Milnacipran and sertraline are Western antidepressants, while Jieyu Pills are a Chinese herbal formula for soothing the liver and relieving depression. These four types of medications have different mechanisms of action, and combining them may interfere with drug absorption or metabolism.

Some active ingredients may interact and cause central nervous system effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, and fatigue. They may also increase gastrointestinal burden, leading to discomfort such as nausea and bloating. Particularly when combining psychiatric medications, precise control of dosage and timing is essential.

When taking these medications, ensure they are spaced out over different times of day to avoid concurrent administration; strictly follow prescribed dosages without self-adjustment; maintain a light diet and avoid spicy or greasy foods; monitor your body's response during treatment, and promptly inform your doctor of any abnormalities so the treatment plan can be adjusted accordingly.

How long should sertraline be taken at a frequency of one tablet every two days before switching to one tablet every three days?

If the condition remains stable after taking one tablet every two days (such as normal mood, sleep, and social functioning), and this stability has been maintained for 2–3 consecutive months without significant physical discomfort (e.g., dizziness, nausea), the doctor may suggest attempting to reduce the dosage further to one tablet every three days. During this phase, it is essential to closely monitor for any fluctuations in symptoms to ensure that there is no relapse following the dose reduction.
