Long-term consumption of Apocynum venetum may cause certain side effects, including diarrhea, gastric pain, loss of appetite, and indigestion. Apocynum venetum possesses antihypertensive, antiviral, and antibacterial properties. However, prolonged use may adversely affect the nervous system and kidneys; therefore, it is advisable to avoid extended or long-term intake to prevent unnecessary harm.
