Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. He Haochen
Patients with constipation due to qi deficiency can generally take calcitriol capsules. Calcitriol capsules promote the synthesis of vitamin D in the body and enhance calcium absorption, thereby helping to prevent osteoporosis and chronic bone malnutrition to some extent. This medication does not adversely affect constipation caused by qi deficiency, nor does it interfere with its treatment; therefore, it can be taken as directed by a physician.
