Q How often do I need to visit for itching treatment in Korean medicine? I'm an office worker, so it's hard to come often.
A For the first 4 weeks, you visit every 2 weeks to check the response to the prescription; once stable, you come every 4 weeks. Dongjedang in Dong-gu, Incheon offers evening and Saturday hours to fit working schedules.
Detailed Answer
The visit interval for Korean medicine itching treatment is adjusted according to the symptom stage. In the early phase of treatment (weeks 1-4), we recommend visiting every 2 weeks to check the response to the prescription and any side effects. In the stable phase (after week 5), when symptoms have improved by 50% or more, you visit every 4 weeks to maintain and adjust the prescription. In case of acute worsening, please visit as soon as possible without an appointment.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Dongjedang, located near Dongincheon Station, operates weekday evening hours and Saturday morning hours for working patients. When it is difficult to visit, it is also possible to have a pre-prescription consultation first by phone or KakaoTalk and then pick up the medicine when you come in.
