Disease description:
My breasts become especially painful before my menstrual period. My doctor prescribed Xiaoyao Pills—when should I take them?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Xu Yongqian
If a woman frequently experiences breast tenderness, she may take Xiaoyao Pills starting one week before menstruation to effectively alleviate this symptom. Additionally, Xiaoyao Pills help nourish the blood and regulate the menstrual cycle. It is best to take Xiaoyao Pills half an hour after a meal, as this timing helps minimize gastrointestinal irritation and reduces the risk of adverse drug reactions.
