How many days does one course of treatment with Shenshu Granules last?

One course of Shenshu Granules typically lasts 7 days. This duration is determined based on clinical treatment experience and the drug's mechanism of action, ensuring effective anti-inflammatory and diuretic effects to improve symptoms related to the urinary system. If symptoms do not improve after completing one course, patients should seek medical advice promptly to adjust the treatment plan.

Shenshu Granules are primarily used to treat urinary tract infections such as urethritis and cystitis. Ingredients like Hedyotis diffusa (Bai Hua She She Cao) and Isatis indigotica leaf (Da Qing Ye) have functions of clearing heat, detoxifying, eliminating dampness, and promoting urination. Completing the full course ensures the drug reaches an effective concentration in the body, thoroughly eliminating pathogens at the infection site and preventing recurrence. Patients must follow medical instructions during treatment and should not adjust the dosage or extend the course on their own.

Special populations such as individuals with renal insufficiency, pregnant women, and children must use this medication under a doctor’s supervision. If adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, or rash occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare provider. Additionally, be aware of potential allergic reactions—patients allergic to any ingredient in this product must not use it.

For daily care, maintain cleanliness of the urethral opening and frequently change underwear, exposing it to sunlight for disinfection. Drink plenty of water—at least 1,500 mL per day—to increase urine output and flush the urinary tract. Maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy, greasy, and irritating foods, and abstain from smoking and alcohol. Keep a regular sleep schedule, avoid staying up late, and engage in moderate physical activity to strengthen the body and promote recovery.
