Dr. He Haochen
Compound Ejiao Syrup should be used with caution in cases of spleen deficiency, as it may worsen the condition and trigger related symptoms. This syrup is primarily used to treat deficiencies of both qi and blood, such as dizziness, palpitations, and insomnia, and can also help with poor appetite and anemia. However, individuals with weak spleen and stomach functions may easily develop indigestion after taking Compound Ejiao Syrup. Therefore, it is not recommended for those with spleen and stomach weakness. Patients should follow medical advice and use appropriate medications according to their specific conditions to properly manage spleen deficiency.
