Q Does Gyeongokgo have no side effects? Is it okay to take it long-term?
A Gyeongokgo is a safe tonic with centuries of clinical history. However, those with very weak digestion should start with a small amount at first, and diabetic patients need caution because its honey content can affect blood sugar.
Detailed Answer
Gyeongokgo's main herbs (rehmannia, poria, ginseng, honey) have been used safely for a long time. If someone with very weak digestion takes a large amount from the start, indigestion may occur, so we begin with a small amount. Because it contains honey, diabetic patients or those managing their blood sugar must let us know before taking it.
Traditional Korean Medicine Perspective
At Dongjedang Korean Medicine Clinic, we assess digestive function, blood sugar, and allergy history at the first visit to confirm whether Gyeongokgo is suitable. Even during long-term use, we check for changes in condition through a follow-up every 3 months and adjust the prescription.
