How to use Xuesaitong for treating blood viscosity?
Today I went to the hospital for a checkup and found out I have blood viscosity. The doctor prescribed Xueshantong. May I ask how should I use Xueshantong to treat blood viscosity?

Xueshantong is a traditional Chinese medicine, with the main ingredient being Panax notoginseng extract. It has functions such as promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and inhibiting platelet aggregation. For patients with high blood viscosity, Xueshantong can help reduce blood viscosity and prevent thrombosis. Clinically, Xueshantong is commonly used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by increased blood viscosity, such as coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction. When using Xueshantong to treat high blood viscosity, oral administration is generally recommended. Please note that the specific dosage and method of use should be adjusted according to the patient's individual condition and as advised by a physician. Although Xueshantong tablets are considered relatively safe, potential side effects such as skin allergies, bleeding, and gastrointestinal reactions should still be noted. During treatment, blood rheology indicators should be monitored regularly, and any adverse reactions, such as gastrointestinal discomfort or rashes, should be observed closely. If discomfort symptoms occur, prompt medical attention should be sought.
It should be noted that Xueshantong should be used cautiously or contraindicated in patients with hemorrhagic disorders, impaired liver or kidney function, and those allergic to the product. Xueshantong should not be taken with anticoagulant medications simultaneously, as this may increase the risk of bleeding.
