Dr. Wang Liyan
Berberine Hydrochloride Tablets are an alkaloid extracted from the traditional Chinese herb *Coptis chinensis* (Huang Lian) and possess antibacterial properties. They should be used only under the guidance of a physician. For gastrointestinal infections, these tablets may provide therapeutic benefits. Please follow the instructions provided in the package insert. If symptoms improve, medication may be discontinued. Monitor for diarrhea; if bowel movements increase significantly or signs of dehydration develop, seek prompt medical attention at a hospital.
