How many days to stop taking Chinese medicine in general

When taking Chinese medicine, how many days to stop generally depends on the condition. If you are not seriously ill, it is generally recommended that you can stop taking the medicine for 2 days after taking it for 2 weeks, and you can stop taking it for about 2 weeks after taking it for 3 months. However, different types of drugs will have different stopping times, which should depend on the condition. In the case of herbal medicines for regulating menstruation, it is recommended to stop taking the medicine for one month after taking it for another month to observe the efficacy; for some herbal medicines with the same source of medicine and food, most of them can be taken for a long time without stopping the medicine; for medicines like He Shou Wu and Mu Tong that have certain damage to the liver, kidney and rectum, it is generally not recommended to take them for a long time; for herbal medicines for dispelling wind and dampness, it is recommended to stop taking them for one week after taking them for one month. Therefore, different drugs have different discontinuation times and cannot be generalized. The specific time needs to be determined by a professional doctor according to your own situation.
