Patient's question:
My parents were at home alone yesterday, while my partner and I went to work. My mom was busy cooking and accidentally gave my dad the wrong medication, mixing his high blood pressure pills with the granules and giving them both to him. When I came back, I was furious, but my worry over what he ate made me sad. I want to ask if it's safe to take the granules and high blood pressure medication at the same time?Doctor's answer:
The drug particles are mainly used to promote blood circulation and unblock meridians, primarily treating ischemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, arteriosclerosis, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral ischemia, coronary heart disease, and angina. The main drug ingredients include Salvia miltiorrhiza and Ligusticum chuanxiong, among others. Chinese medicine can generally be taken together with antihypertensive drugs and will not have any significant adverse effects. It is recommended that you do not panic and pay attention to taking Chinese and Western medicines separately in the future. It is better to wait for about half an hour between doses.
