Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Xiuhong
Although Fufang Xueshuantong Capsules do not have strict dietary restrictions, to enhance drug efficacy and reduce possible adverse reactions, the following points are recommended:
- Avoid cold foods: Minimize consumption of cold-natured or raw foods, such as ice cream and cold beverages, to prevent interference with the warming and nourishing effects of the medication.
- Limited intake of spicy and stimulating foods: Spicy foods may exacerbate internal heat and should be consumed in moderation, especially for patients experiencing gastrointestinal discomfort.
- Maintain a low-fat diet: High-fat foods may interfere with drug absorption; therefore, a light diet is recommended.
Additionally, medication should be taken as directed by a physician, and regular follow-up visits are necessary during the treatment period.
