Salvia miltiorrhiza can obviously improve renal function, increase glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal plasma flow (RDF) and renal blood flow (RBF), and accelerate the flow rate.
It is mainly used for angina pectoris (coronary heart disease), hypertension, cervical spondylosis and oppression in the chest. Because of its reliable efficacy, small side effects and low price, compound Danshen tablets have become one of the Chinese patent medicines with high frequency of use.
When the flow rate and velocity of distal renal tubular fluid increase, it can effectively stimulate renal tubular cortex to secrete potassium ions, and most of the potassium excreted in urine is secreted by distal renal tubular and collecting duct, that is, the amount of urinary potassium excretion mainly depends on the rate of potassium secretion by distal nephron. Therefore, taking salvia miltiorrhiza for a long time may cause an increase in urinary potassium and a decrease in blood potassium.

Salvia miltiorrhiza taboo
1, patients with non-blood stasis syndrome in TCM should take it with caution, those with bleeding tendency should be prohibited, those who are allergic to salvia miltiorrhiza drugs or have a history of serious adverse reactions should be prohibited, and infants and pregnant women should be prohibited.
2. Do not mix and use the two medicines separately. Salvia miltiorrhiza injection should be used alone, and should not be mixed with other drugs. In particular, it should not be mixed with western medicine injections to avoid precipitation or denaturation and increase the risk of medication. If it is really necessary to use other drugs in combination, we should carefully consider the time interval between this product and drug interaction, and add an appropriate amount of spacer between the two drugs.
