Causes and Management of Side Effects

Management:

  • If severe, reduce the dosage to allow your body to adjust.
  • If experiencing insomnia, take the medication before 6 PM and avoid exercising late in the evening.

Headache, Dizziness

Cause: Headaches can occur due to hypoglycemia caused by reduced food intake or if you are sensitive to increased metabolism.

Management:

  • Ensure regular meals with sufficient portions to prevent hypoglycemia or lethargy.
  • Adequate water intake and sugar replenishment through sports drinks or similar can be helpful.

Dry Mouth, Bad Breath

Cause: These can result from sympathetic nervous system excitation and fat breakdown byproducts due to dieting.

Management:

  • Sufficient water intake can be helpful.
  • Chewing gum can stimulate salivary gland secretion and alleviate dry mouth.

Nausea, Vomiting

Cause: This can occur if the stomach is irritated when taking Gambihwan on an empty stomach.

Management:

At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, the basic dosage is 2 pills twice a day, 1 hour before lunch and dinner. When taking it for the first time, it is advisable to allow an adjustment period.

While losing weight is important, you should aim for safe and stable weight loss that does not strain your body.
