Q Can I receive bee venom acupuncture and pharmacopuncture treatments while taking anti-inflammatory painkillers?
A In most cases, they can be combined. However, if you have an allergy to bee venom (bee acupuncture) or are taking anticoagulants or anticoagulants, please inform us in advance so that we can safely adjust the dosage and procedures.
Detailed Answer
Generally, anti-inflammatory painkillers and acupuncture/pharmacopuncture treatments can be received together, and they actually complement each other in controlling acute pain. However, since purified bee venom is used for bee acupuncture, a preliminary test is required if you have a history of allergies. Also, if you are taking medications that increase the risk of bleeding, such as anticoagulants or aspirin, we will adjust the intensity and site of procedures like moxibustion.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we check medications and allergies during the initial consultation, and we gradually increase the bee venom dosage starting from a small amount. Please do not stop taking your medications arbitrarily; if you inform us exactly what you are taking, we will proceed with the safest combination.
