Can I take Kidney Treasure Tablets at the age of 15

15-year-old teenagers are generally not recommended to take Shenbao tablets. Shenbao tablets are mainly used for symptoms such as lower back pain and frequent nocturia caused by kidney deficiency. Adolescents are in the developmental stage of their bodies, and unauthorized use without a clear diagnosis of kidney deficiency may affect endocrine balance.

As a traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations, Shenbao Tablets are mostly designed for adults with kidney yang deficiency or kidney yin deficiency. Adolescent kidney function is usually in a vigorous stage, and blindly tonifying the kidneys may lead to hormonal imbalances and even affect bone development. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, minors with sufficient yang energy do not need to supplement their kidneys unless there are congenital deficiencies or serious diseases leading to kidney deficiency. If you experience temporary lower back pain and fatigue due to long-term staying up late or overwork, it is recommended to improve it by adjusting your schedule and balanced diet. In rare cases, such as in adolescents with organic diseases such as congenital kidney disease and chronic nephritis, and diagnosed with kidney yang deficiency syndrome through traditional Chinese medicine, it can be used for a short period of time under the strict guidance of a doctor. But other potential causes need to be ruled out to avoid masking the condition. The dosage of medication for minors also needs to be accurately adjusted according to their weight and body surface area, and cannot be directly applied to adult standards. When teenagers experience symptoms such as fatigue and lower back pain, it is recommended to prioritize ensuring 8 hours of sleep per day, supplementing with high-quality protein such as milk, eggs, and fish in moderation, and promoting bone development through vertical exercises such as skipping rope and basketball. If the symptoms persist for more than two weeks or are accompanied by edema and abnormal urine output, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly to check for organic diseases such as kidney disease and scoliosis, and avoid taking kidney tonifying drugs on one's own to delay diagnosis and treatment.
