Answer

This medicine is a traditional Chinese medicine for treating kidney Yin deficiency, which has a cooling effect. If you have kidney Yin deficiency and a lot of heat, then it is advisable to take Zhizi Huanglian Wan. Zhizi Huanglian Wan is a traditional Chinese medicine, and if you have kidney Yin deficiency, taking it for 2 to 3 months should be fine. If it’s not a case of kidney Yin deficiency, it is not recommended to take it. It is suggested to go to a professional hospital for a check-up and consult with the doctor about what medication to take.
