Patients with hyperlipidemia can generally take Xuesaitong.

Xuesaitong helps lower cholesterol and improve hyperlipidemia, thereby alleviating related symptoms. However, it must be used strictly under a physician’s guidance to avoid excessive dosing or prolonged use. Long-term use of Xuesaitong may affect liver function; therefore, after taking the medication for a period of time, it is recommended to undergo liver function testing at a hospital.
