Can Kidney Treasure Tablets be taken at the age of sixteen

Sixteen year old teenagers are generally not recommended to take Shenbao tablets on their own. Shenbao tablets are mainly used for symptoms such as soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, frequent nocturia caused by kidney yang deficiency. Adolescents are in the stage of growth and development, and unauthorized use without a clear diagnosis of kidney yang deficiency may disrupt endocrine balance. Before taking it, it must be guided by a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner based on syndrome differentiation to avoid interaction with other drugs or masking potential health problems. When adolescents experience symptoms such as fatigue and lack of energy, they are usually related to physiological factors such as high academic pressure, insufficient sleep, or nutritional imbalance. By adjusting the daily routine to ensure 8 hours of sleep, increasing the intake of high-quality protein such as milk and eggs, and combining with moderate aerobic exercise, most cases can effectively improve physical fitness. Blindly tonifying the kidneys may increase the metabolic burden on the liver and kidneys, especially during puberty when hormone levels fluctuate greatly. Drug intervention should be particularly cautious. Adolescent patients with kidney yang deficiency syndrome should be diagnosed through traditional Chinese medicine observation, smelling, questioning, and cutting before considering medication. Shenbao tablets contain medicinal herbs such as Epimedium and Huluba, which may accelerate the closure of bone plaque and affect height development. When combined with underlying diseases such as thyroid dysfunction or chronic kidney disease, drug components may worsen the original condition. It is necessary to strictly follow the doctor's advice to control the dosage and duration of medication, and regularly monitor liver and kidney function and bone age changes during medication. Parents who discover that their children continue to exhibit abnormal symptoms such as chills, cold limbs, and delayed development should prioritize going to the pediatrics or endocrinology department to investigate pathological factors such as anemia and hypothyroidism. In daily life, it is recommended to consume moderate amounts of flat tonic ingredients such as yam and black sesame to avoid damaging the spleen and stomach yang qi with raw and cold diets. Establishing regular exercise habits can help promote the circulation of qi and blood. When necessary, under the guidance of professional physicians, choose a medicinal and dietary plan based on physical constitution. It is important to avoid using adult kidney tonifying drugs for the adolescent population.
