Compound Danshen tablet belongs to Chinese patent medicine, which has stable efficacy, few side effects and wide application range, so it has become a kind of Chinese patent medicine with high frequency of use. What you still want to know about compound Danshen tablets is, can compound Danshen tablets be taken for a long time? What are the consequences after long-term use?

The adverse reactions caused by long-term use of compound Danshen tablets are often ignored. Long-term use may cause the decrease of blood potassium content and produce hypokalemia. It has been found that many patients with coronary heart disease take it as a standing drug for a long time. Some patients with coronary heart disease continue to take compound Danshen tablets 1 month according to the routine dosage, and the blood potassium level is lower than that before treatment, and patients may have symptoms of potassium deficiency such as abdominal distension and fatigue. Once hypokalemia occurs, the effects on muscles, heart, central nervous system, acid-base balance and digestion will be more obvious, which may have serious consequences.

Therefore, I would like to remind you that medicine is toxic in three ways, so it is not suitable for compound Danshen tablets to be taken for a long time, and it must be taken according to the doctor's guidance.
