Accompanied my mom to the pharmacy to buy some Liuwei Dihuang Pills, because Dad has recently been experiencing kidney yin deficiency with excessive liver and heart fire. Is it appropriate for this condition to take Liuwei Dihuang Pills?

Dr. Ding Yu
For kidney yin deficiency with excessive liver fire and heart fire, Liuwei Dihuang Pills may be taken. This medicine is primarily used to treat kidney yin deficiency. However, while Liuwei Dihuang Pills can address the kidney deficiency in such patients, they do not alleviate excessive liver fire. Therefore, it can be combined with Longdan Xiegan Pills for simultaneous treatment. Patients are advised to take appropriate medications under the guidance of a physician for proper regulation and treatment.
