View approved original text

This medication is explained for patients who feel devoid of vitality, have weakened gastrointestinal function, and easily experience fatigue. Due to a weak constitution, the body can become easily fatigued, and feelings of tiredness and lethargy may persist. This may occur in conditions of post-illness weakness, where physical strength has decreased after an illness or there may be a decrease in appetite leading to anorexia. Additionally, symptoms such as night sweats, which the person may not notice, can also accompany. These symptoms indicate a state of insufficient energy and weakened digestive function. This medicine is used to alleviate fatigue, decreased appetite, and night sweats resulting from such weak constitution and reduced gastrointestinal function.
