The duration required for Liu Wei Di Huang Wan to achieve effective results primarily depends on the patient's specific condition and individual differences. Generally, if the patient's symptoms are mild, such as mild insomnia, palpitations, night sweats, dry mouth, etc., taking Liu Wei Di Huang Wan for about 14 to 30 days may show effects. However, if the patient's condition is more severe—for example, significant palpitations, insomnia, irritability, or prolonged symptoms of kidney yin deficiency—then a longer duration may be required, even 2 to 3 months, to achieve noticeable improvement. It is important to note that Liu Wei Di Huang Wan is a traditional Chinese patent medicine, and the time required for its therapeutic effects to manifest is not absolute. It can be influenced by multiple factors, including the patient's constitution, severity of illness, and whether the medication is taken as directed by a physician. Therefore, patients are advised to strictly follow medical instructions when taking Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, adhering to the prescribed dosage and schedule, and to observe their physical response during treatment. If any discomfort occurs, timely medical consultation is necessary. Additionally, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits and a positive mental state can also help enhance the drug's effectiveness and promote recovery from illness.
