Can I take Fuzheng Huayu Capsules twice a day

It is generally not recommended to take Fuzheng Huayu Capsules twice a day. The usual usage is 5 capsules at a time, 3 times a day. This medication regimen is based on the characteristics of drug ingredients, pharmacokinetic studies, and clinical practice verification, aiming to maintain effective blood drug concentration through regular administration, thereby stably exerting the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, nourishing essence, and nourishing liver.

The drug instructions clearly state that its standard usage is oral, 5 capsules per dose, 3 times a day. 24 weeks is one course of treatment. This frequency design takes into account the long-term intervention required for chronic diseases such as liver fibrosis, as well as the drug metabolism cycle. Most components have a short half-life, and taking them in multiple doses can avoid fluctuations in blood drug concentration, ensuring sustained inhibition of hepatic stellate cell activation, reduction of collagen deposition, and other anti fibrotic effects. If adjusted to twice a day without authorization, it may result in blood drug concentration not meeting the standard, affecting the efficacy, and even increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract due to excessive single dose, causing adverse reactions such as nausea and diarrhea. The medication plan should strictly follow the principle of individualization. For example, patients with severe liver function impairment may need to adjust the dosage; When using other drugs in combination, the risk of drug interactions should be considered. Therefore, patients should develop an exclusive medication plan after a comprehensive evaluation of their condition, age, liver and kidney function, and other factors by their doctor. They should not increase or decrease the frequency or dosage on their own. Standardized medication is the key to ensuring treatment effectiveness and reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
