There is no such thing as "how many consecutive days can Qiangli Pipa Capsules be taken at most." Generally, Qiangli Pipa Capsules should not be taken continuously for more than 7 days. As a cough medicine containing poppy shell, prolonged use may lead to dependence. Dosage duration should be adjusted promptly according to symptom relief, and treatment courses should not be blindly extended. If cough symptoms do not improve or worsen after 7 days of use, medical advice should be sought promptly.

Qiangli Pipa Capsules have the effects of nourishing yin, astringing the lungs, suppressing cough, and expelling phlegm, and are suitable for coughs caused by conditions such as bronchitis. Although the poppy shell in its ingredients enhances the cough-suppressing effect, long-term intake may lead to physical dependence and potentially affect intestinal function; therefore, the duration of use must be strictly controlled.

For mild cough, symptoms usually subside after 3–5 days of use, and medication should be discontinued promptly. For more pronounced symptoms, the capsules may be taken up to 7 days. If there is still no improvement, the underlying cause may be unclear or the medication may be inappropriate, and medical evaluation is needed to rule out other issues such as bacterial infection or allergies.

Diet should be light during treatment; spicy, greasy, raw, and cold foods should be avoided, and exposure to tobacco and alcohol minimized. Keep indoor air well-ventilated and drink adequate water to soothe the throat. Always follow the dosage instructions on the label or as prescribed by a doctor—do not increase the dose or extend the duration of use on your own, to ensure safe medication use.
