Can you take medicine during your period?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

During menstruation, just avoid taking blood-activating medications. Other medications can be taken because consuming blood-activating and blood-stagnation-dispersing drugs during this period may increase the risk of bleeding. Therefore, before taking any medication, check to ensure it is not blood-activating. Medications for colds, inflammation, and other conditions can all be taken.
