Cautions and Contraindications

* This formula is contraindicated during pregnancy and nursing.

* Patients with severe or acute asthma attacks may need additional herbal or drug treatment.

* Patients with heat- or deficient-type respiratory disorders should use Respitrol (Heat) or Respitrol (Deficient), respectively. See Supplementary Formulas for maintenance treatment of respiratory disorders.

* This formula is contraindicated for long-term use. It should be discontinued when the desired effects are achieved. For long-term treatment, consider using Respitrol (Deficient) or Cordyceps 3.

* The Cang Er Zi (Fructus Xanthii) used in this formula has been carefully dry fried at high temperature until they appear dark brown or slightly charred, as dictated by the Chinese Materia Medica. Dry frying is necessary because this process simultaneously increases the effect [by enhancing the extraction of active compounds] and decreases the side effects [by destroying the undesired glycosides]. Nonetheless, because Cang Er Zi (Fructus Xanthii) is metabolized by the liver and eliminated by the kidneys, individuals with pre-exiting liver or kidney diseases should not take this formula
