Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua

Patients with superficial gastritis can take Moluodan.

Moluodan is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation composed of multiple medicinal herbs. It functions to harmonize the stomach and resolve counterflow, strengthen the spleen and relieve bloating, and promote circulation to alleviate pain. It can facilitate the repair of gastrointestinal mucosa, relieve gastric mucosal inflammation, and has a certain therapeutic effect on patients with superficial gastritis. If symptoms such as spleen and stomach deficiency and indigestion are present, Moluodan can be used as an adjunctive treatment.

However, individuals differ in their physical conditions and responses to medications. Moluodan should be taken under the guidance of a physician. Self-medication without medical advice should be avoided to prevent adverse reactions.

In addition, treating superficial gastritis requires a comprehensive approach that includes dietary adjustments and improvements in lifestyle. Relying solely on medication may not achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes. Therefore, in daily life, it is important to maintain regular eating habits, avoid spicy and irritating foods, avoid overeating, consume soft and easily digestible foods, and maintain a regular lifestyle and good living habits to promote gastric health.
