Patient's question:
Mother has high blood pressure and wants to buy Xuesaitong to try for her. Doctor, can people with high blood pressure take Xuesaitong?Doctor's answer:
Hello. It is not recommended for patients with hypertension to take Xuesaitong tablets orally. Xuesaitong tablets are primarily used to invigorate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, unblock collaterals, activate blood flow, and inhibit platelet aggregation while enhancing cerebral blood flow. They are mainly targeted at patients with hemiplegia after stroke, stasis obstruction of the heart and pulse, and sequelae of cerebrovascular diseases. The principle of medication for patients with hypertension is individualization, which determines the appropriate antihypertensive drugs for the patient. Hypertensive patients should consult a doctor for professional diagnosis before taking oral medication. It is absolutely essential not to use medication blindly to avoid further lowering of blood pressure.
