Some patients who have already suffered from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension and dyslipidemia, do not follow the doctor's advice and increase the dosage without authorization, in order to have an immediate effect. However, the experiment shows that the amount of panax pseudo-ginseng that human body can absorb every day is 6 9 grams, and the excess will be excreted, which will not exert the ideal effect and cause a certain degree of waste. China Pharmacopoeia stipulates that the total amount of panax pseudo-ginseng taken by people with normal constitution should not exceed 9 grams per day.

02. Patients with yin deficiency, internal heat, excessive internal heat, blood stasis, debilitation and deficiency of both yin and yang should not take Notoginseng for a long time.

05. Notoginseng should not be used during menstruation; Or women who take Sanqi for health care for a long time, it is best to stop taking Sanqi during menstruation. Because Sanqi has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, taking it during menstruation can easily lead to menorrhagia.

06. When taking Panax notoginseng, it is not advisable to stop taking antihypertensive, hypoglycemic and lipid-regulating drugs immediately. Although Panax notoginseng has the function of regulating blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid, its efficacy is weaker than that of drugs, and it can't replace the conventional antihypertensive, hypoglycemic and lipid-regulating drugs.

07, should not take notoginseng before going to bed, to avoid frequent thirst at night. Because of the strong effect of promoting blood circulation, some people will feel thirsty after taking it. Use notoginseng, it is recommended to take it after meals.

08. Notoginseng should not be taken at the same time with western medicines with strong acidity, such as vitamin C, nicotinic acid, dilute hydrochloric acid mixture and gastric enzyme mixture. Under the condition of too strong acidity, the effective components of panax notoginseng are decomposed into aglycone and sugar, which reduces the efficacy.

09. Notoginseng should not be combined with aspirin and other antiplatelet aggregation drugs or saffron and other traditional Chinese medicines for promoting blood circulation.

1 1, Panax notoginseng should not be taken with boiling water. Because the effective components of Panax Notoginseng, such as Panax Notoginseng, are easy to decompose and destroy after heating, and many functions of Panax Notoginseng, such as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, regulating "three highs" and resisting thrombosis, are related to these effective components, so it is necessary to eat them raw to achieve the purpose of health care or treatment. If you take it with boiling water, the raw powder will be cooked and the corresponding efficacy will change, so it is best to take it with warm water.

12, Notoginseng should not be taken with veratrum nigrum or Trogopterori. This is a taboo in the compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is easy to produce certain toxic and side effects.
