Some Chinese medicines can be taken by pregnant women, but some should be prohibited or used with caution by pregnant women.
Whether or not a pregnant woman can take Chinese medicine depends on whether or not there are relevant indications, and whether or not the drugs taken are prohibited or used with caution by pregnant women, and cannot be generalized. When a pregnant woman is experiencing discomfort, she can take the appropriate Chinese medicine as prescribed by her doctor.
However, pregnant women should avoid taking Chinese medicines that are prohibited for pregnant women, such as musk, earthworm, andrographis, dingongteng, strychnine, etc. Pregnant women should also avoid Chinese medicines that are prudent for pregnant women, such as smallpox pollen, elongated grass, snowdrops, tomentoes, and hedgehogs.
Pregnant women who are not feeling well are advised to consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment, do not blindly use medication on your own, so as not to cause adverse consequences.
