Q I'm taking ovulation-inducing drugs and hormone injections for IVF. Is it okay to take herbal medicine at the same time?
A They can be done together if you space them out in time. We usually advise taking herbal medicine about 1 to 2 hours apart from hormone drugs and ovulation inducers, and you must inform us of your procedure schedule and current medications at your visit.
Detailed Answer
You can use Korean medicine treatment even while receiving ovulation-inducing drugs or IVF hormone injections. However, it is best to take herbal medicine about 1 to 2 hours apart so that drug absorption does not overlap. Because the herbal formula and whether to take it must be adjusted according to the procedure stage (ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, embryo transfer), it is safest to accurately share your obstetric schedule and prescription details at your visit.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we carefully adjust the direction and timing of herbal medicine to match the procedure stage. While ovulation and transfer are carried out through conventional procedures, we manage uterine blood flow and whole-body condition with Korean medicine treatment, keeping safe combined care as our principle.
