Cautions and Contraindications

* The main emphasis of this formula is to use herbs to clear heat, eliminate toxins, and control the autoimmune and inflammatory conditions of lupus. Therefore, it contains many bitter and cold herbs, which may consume qi and yin. If the patient shows more signs and symptoms of such deficiencies, additional herbs and formulas should be given to strengthen the underlying constitutions. See Supplementary Formula section for details.

* Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disorder. In theory, qi tonic herbs that stimulate the immune system, such as Huang Qi (Radix Astragali) and Ren Shen (Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng), should be used with caution. However, in clinical practice, these herbs may still be indicated based on differential diagnosis.
