You can’t drink beer when you take the Six-flavored Dihuang Pills, so as not to reduce the efficacy of the medicine, but also to increase the dampness in the body, which is not conducive to the treatment of the disease.
The Six-flavored Di Huang Pill is a traditional Chinese medicine composed of ripened huangdi, cornelian cherry, Chinese yam, mudanpi, poria, zedoary, and has the effect of nourishing yin and tonifying the kidneys. Drinking beer during the period of taking the Six-flavored Di Huang Pill may reduce the efficacy of the Six-flavored Di Huang Pill and increase the body’s dampness due to the fact that beer contains alcohol, which is a kind of pungent and dry and hot food, and is therefore not recommended to drink beer during the period of taking the medicine.
Therefore, it is not recommended to drink beer while taking the medicine. Patients are advised to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and follow the doctor’s advice to adjust the dietary habits during the medication period. Do not drink alcohol while taking the medication as it may aggravate the condition or cause adverse effects.
