Xu Baohai, director of traditional Chinese Medicine Department of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, pointed out that Radix 1satidis is bitter and cold in nature, has the effect of clearing away heat and toxin, cooling blood and throat, and is often used to prevent influenza and other influenza diseases. However, a few days ago, in order to prevent the child from catching a cold, a parent asked the child to take Banlangen every day for a week. As a result, the child developed gastrointestinal bleeding a week later. 1n addition, because excessive use of Banlangen cause dizziness, chest tightness, or lead to more than diarrhea cases also appear. Although the side effects of Radix 1satidis are small, if it is taken for a long time or overused, it will also produce adverse reactions.
