Dr. Zhang Liwen
Whether patients with dry mouth and bad breath can take Sanjin tablets depends on the specific condition. If dry mouth and bad breath are caused by excessive internal heat ("shanghuo"), Sanjin tablets may be taken under a doctor's guidance for treatment. However, if these symptoms result from gastrointestinal disorders, such as increased gastric acid secretion and food reflux, medications like omeprazole or domperidone can be taken orally to inhibit gastric acid secretion and promote gastrointestinal motility, thereby improving symptoms of dry mouth and bad breath.
