Can people with hypertension take Shenrong tablets?
Disease description:
I've been feeling a bit weak these past couple of days. A colleague suggested taking some ginseng and deer antler slice for toning, but I have hypertension and I'm worried it might cause other adverse effects. So I'd like to ask, can people with high blood pressure take ginseng and deer antler slice?

Hypertensive patients can generally take ginseng and antler tablets in moderation. Ginseng and antler tablets are a type of traditional Chinese medicine known for their kidney-tonifying and yang-enhancing effects. When taken appropriately, they usually do not adversely affect blood pressure. However, for safety, patients should always use them under the guidance of a physician. Additionally, hypertensive patients should maintain a low-salt, low-fat diet in daily life to help control blood pressure.
