Fuyankang Tablets are not recommended for use during menstruation. This is because Fuyankang Tablets possess functions including clearing heat and eliminating dampness, regulating Qi and promoting blood circulation, dispersing nodules, and reducing swelling. Taking them during menstruation may lead to menorrhagia (excessively heavy menstrual bleeding) or menstrual irregularities. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid taking the medication during the menstrual period and to also avoid spicy, cold, and greasy foods. Use with caution during lactation; not suitable for individuals experiencing menorrhagia. Patients with diabetes or other underlying medical conditions should take this medication only under the guidance of a physician. Individuals presenting with bloody vaginal discharge or symptoms such as urinary frequency, urgency, or dysuria should seek medical evaluation and treatment. If symptoms persist without improvement after two weeks of treatment, medical consultation is strongly advised.

Fuyankang Tablets are a gynecological medication used to treat conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), salpingo-oophoritis (inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries), vaginitis, and cervicitis. Its primary therapeutic actions include clearing heat and draining dampness, regulating Qi and invigorating blood circulation, dispersing nodules and reducing swelling, resolving spleen-involved damp-heat, and alleviating toxic-damp accumulation and blood stasis obstruction. It improves microcirculation and promotes blood circulation while resolving stasis. Due to its blood-activating components, Fuyankang Tablets demonstrate certain efficacy in treating vaginitis and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. However, if taken during menstruation, it may increase menstrual flow—potentially compromising therapeutic effectiveness and causing menstrual disturbances, such as menorrhagia.

Patients are advised to avoid taking Fuyankang Tablets during menstruation. We hope this information proves helpful to you.
