Patient's question:
This year, when my uncle had a health check-up, it was found that his kidneys weren't doing well. During the follow-up examination, the doctor prescribed Shen Shuai Ning for him. He has been taking it for over a month now. Since my uncle's family isn't very wealthy, he wants to stop taking the medication. How long should he take Shen Shuai Ning before stopping?Doctor's answer:
Shen Shuang Ning contains the ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine. It has the functions of invigorating qi, strengthening the spleen, promoting blood circulation, and resolving blood stasis. It is usually caused by spleen deficiency, leading to symptoms such as lower back pain, fatigue, pale complexion, nausea, vomiting, and poor appetite. In such cases, this medicine can be taken orally. Additionally, it can also be taken for chronic kidney disease of various causes. Generally, when taking this oral medication, a course of treatment is usually 45 days.
