Introduction
Danggui Yixue Oral Liquid is recommended to be taken 30 minutes after a meal. At this time, food in the gastrointestinal tract acts as a buffer, reducing drug irritation to the gastric mucosa and facilitating the absorption of active ingredients. If persistent gastrointestinal discomfort, dizziness, palpitations or other symptoms occur after taking the medication, medical attention should be sought promptly. Taking the medicine after meals can prevent direct irritation to the gastric mucosa in an empty stomach.

It is recommended to take Danggui Yixue Oral Liquid 30 minutes after a meal. At this time, food in the gastrointestinal tract acts as a buffer, reducing drug irritation to the gastric mucosa and facilitating the absorption of active ingredients. If persistent gastrointestinal discomfort, dizziness, palpitations, or other symptoms occur after taking the medication, medical attention should be sought promptly.

Taking the medicine after meals avoids direct irritation to the gastric mucosa in an empty stomach, which is especially suitable for individuals with weak spleen and stomach function, reducing the risk of discomfort such as nausea and abdominal bloating. The medication contains tonic ingredients like Danggui (Angelica sinensis) and Shudihuang (Rehmannia glutinosa). Taking it after meals prolongs its retention time in the intestines, promoting full absorption of active components and enhancing its effects of tonifying qi and nourishing blood.

Dosage instructions should be strictly followed during treatment; do not adjust the dose on your own. Avoid taking the medication with raw, cold, or greasy foods, as they may impair drug absorption. Additionally, avoid blindly combining it with other tonic Chinese medicines to prevent excessive tonification that could lead to adverse reactions.

Maintain regular daily routines and ensure adequate sleep to support body recovery. Appropriately include dual-purpose medicinal and dietary ingredients such as red dates and longan in your diet to assist调理 (regulation and conditioning). Avoid overexertion and emotional fluctuations, and follow a light, easily digestible diet to create optimal physical conditions for the medication to work effectively.
