Patients with hypertension can take Huangqi Granules, but it is recommended to do so only under the guidance of a physician. Prolonged use may cause symptoms such as dizziness and headache, and may also trigger a rapid increase in blood pressure. Patients are advised to monitor their blood pressure regularly and maintain a light, low-oil, low-sugar, and low-fat diet.
