Should I Take Shensong Yangxin Capsules Before or After Meals?

Shensong Yangxin Capsule can be taken either before or after meals, but it is generally recommended to take it after meals. Specific instructions should be obtained from a doctor. Shensong Yangxin Capsule is made from ingredients such as ginseng, Ophiopogon japonicus, Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, and Coptidis Rhizoma. It has the effects of replenishing qi and nourishing yin, promoting blood circulation to remove obstruction in the collaterals, clearing the heart, and calming the nerves. Clinically, it can be used to treat symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, chest distress, chest pain, insomnia, and excessive dreaming caused by obstruction of heart collaterals. The medication instructions do not specify whether to take it before or after meals, but medications usually irritate the gastrointestinal tract. Taking it after meals can usually reduce the impact on the gastrointestinal tract, so it is generally recommended to take it after meals. Patients should still visit the hospital for examination and take medication according to their condition under the guidance of a doctor, which can better exert the effect of the medication, facilitate recovery from the illness, and avoid inducing other symptoms. During medication, patients should closely monitor the treatment progress of their illness. If they are allergic to the medication, it is generally not recommended to take it, as it may affect their health. In daily life, patients should maintain a healthy diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid cold, spicy, and greasy food. They should also maintain a pleasant mood, which is conducive to better exerting the effect of the medication and alleviating symptoms.
