Dr. Zhang Heyang
Patients with G6PD deficiency (favism) can take Pharyngitis Tablets. However, they must avoid taking Shuanghuanglian. Foods and substances that are strictly prohibited include pearl powder, honeysuckle, Chuanlian, bezoar,腊梅花 (wax plum flower), bear bile, etc. In daily life, patients should avoid legumes, mothballs, and contraindicated medications. Proper symptomatic care and treatment are important, focusing primarily on symptom management and observation to prevent worsening of the condition. Traditional Chinese medicine may be used as an adjunctive therapy.
