There is no definite effective time for Chinese medicine to regulate spleen and stomach, it varies from person to person and usually takes from 1 week to 1 month. The effective time of Chinese medicine for spleen and stomach weakness is related to the degree of spleen and stomach weakness of the patient and the accuracy of the diagnosis.
The degree of spleen and stomach weakness is related to the duration of the patient’s own illness. Most patients with a short duration of illness and acute phase recover faster, and symptomatic oral medications are usually effective after one week. For patients with chronic diseases of longer duration, oral administration of medicines takes at least about 4 weeks, and the effective time varies from person to person.
Whether oral Chinese medicine is effective or not has a lot to do with the accuracy of the diagnosis and treatment. With accurate diagnosis and treatment, people with mild spleen and stomach weakness can take 1~3 doses of Chinese medicine to see the effect. Patients should use the medication under the guidance of a physician and should not shorten or extend the duration of the medication without authorization.
