Sanchi (Han San Qi Alias) … Safety & Interactions

Han San Qi · Radix Notoginseng

Contraindications

  • Pregnancy
  • Active anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy without professional guidance
  • Unexplained bleeding or chest pain that has not been medically evaluated

Cautions

  • Notoginseng can influence platelet activity and blood movement, so surgical, bleeding-risk, and cardiovascular context matters.
  • Raw versus processed or formula-combined notoginseng products are not interchangeable.
  • Alias names such as Han San Qi should never be used to excuse uncertain species identity.
