Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills are a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine, primarily indicated for the treatment of symptoms such as colds and gastrointestinal discomfort. The dosage should follow medical advice or the instructions provided with the medication. Generally, adults should take 6–9 grams orally per dose, two to three times daily, administered with lukewarm water. Dosage for children should be appropriately reduced according to age and body weight, and administration must be supervised by an adult. During treatment, smoking, alcohol consumption, and foods that are spicy, raw, cold, or greasy should be avoided, as they may interfere with the drug's effectiveness. If symptoms persist or worsen, prompt medical attention is necessary. It is essential to strictly follow medical guidance when taking Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills and pay close attention to medication safety and dietary restrictions.
