Patient's question:
My father was diagnosed with high blood pressure these past few days. Today, he went to the street to buy some Panax notoginseng powder. Hello doctor, is Panax notoginseng useful for high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
If you have high blood pressure, it is most important to take standardized antihypertensive drugs for treatment. Only in this way can blood pressure be stabilized. The combination of Sanqi (Panax notoginseng) and other treatments or as an adjunctive therapy still has a certain effect, but it cannot be used alone to lower blood pressure. Avoid severe high blood pressure leading to serious conditions such as cerebral hemorrhage. It is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly to control the progression of the condition.
