Tongrentang Compound Danshen Tablet membership price: ￥8.00 Compound Danshen Tablet is a Chinese patent medicine made of Danshen, Notoginseng Radix and Borneolum Syntheticum in a certain proportion, which has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, regulating qi and relieving pain, calming the nerves and calming the heart. So, can compound Danshen tablets be eaten for a long time? What will happen if you eat for a long time? Modern pharmacological research shows that compound Danshen tablet can dilate coronary artery, increase blood perfusion of heart, slow down heart rate, improve myocardial hypoxia, inhibit platelet aggregation, reduce blood viscosity and regulate blood lipid. Long-term use of compound Danshen tablets may cause hypokalemia. It is found that some patients with coronary heart disease take Compound Danshen Tablet 1 month continuously 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. Researchers believe that compound Danshen tablets can cause hypokalemia, which may be related to the effect of Danshen on renal function. Pharmacological studies have proved that Salvia miltiorrhiza can obviously improve renal function, increase glomerular filtration rate, renal plasma flow and renal blood flow, and accelerate the flow rate. According to the research, 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. Although Salvia Miltiorrhiza has a slow effect of lowering potassium, it may be induced by long-term medication, and most of the patients taking the medicine are elderly patients. Once hypokalemia occurs, the influence on heart, muscles, central nervous system, digestion and acid-base balance will be more obvious, which may cause serious consequences. Therefore, in the process of taking this medicine, the elderly should pay attention to proper potassium supplementation, and generally can often eat some potassium-rich foods, such as bananas, orange juice, soybeans, peanuts and so on. When there are symptoms of potassium deficiency such as abdominal distension and fatigue, potassium salt can be added. Compound Danshen tablet is a commonly used Chinese medicine for treating coronary heart disease, but it is only a palliative medicine and should not be taken for a long time. Influenced by the one-sided understanding that "traditional Chinese medicine is nontoxic", as a commonly used Chinese patent medicine, the adverse reactions of compound Danshen tablets are often ignored. Many patients with coronary heart disease take it as a standing medicine for a long time. In fact, "medicine is toxic in three ways", and compound Danshen tablets are no exception, because borneol in compound Danshen tablets has the characteristics of aromatic escaping, which consumes gas and hurts yang, and it is easy to cause cardiac function decline after long-term administration. In addition, the content of borneol in compound Danshen tablets is too high, which is also irritating to gastrointestinal tract. Patients with coronary heart disease with gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcer and esophagitis, or patients with deficiency-cold constitution should not be selected.
