This does not mean that everyone must take the same amount from the start. The actual starting dose and timing of administration should follow the guidance provided during your medical evaluation.

You may start with a smaller dose during the initial adaptation period.

When taking the medicine for the first time, you may take less than the standard dose to monitor your body's reaction. Taking a reduced initial dose is not a 'failed dose with weak effects,' but a process of checking your current reaction to see if you can progress to the standard dose.

Briefly recording the following information will be helpful for your consultation.

  • The actual number of tablets taken and the time of administration
  • Times of day when appetite changes
  • Whether you have difficulty falling asleep or if your sleep patterns have changed
  • stomach discomfort, nausea, constipation·changes such as diarrhea
  • newly felt discomfort such as throbbing or hand tremors
  • weight trends on a weekly basis rather than daily numbers

Recording is not intended to exaggerate discomfort, but to provide data so that the dosage is not determined by intuition.

Intensity is adjusted by dosage, not by changing ingredients

Baekrok Gambi-jeong does not change its ingredients from person to person same prescription compositionThis is a pill-form Korean herbal medicine. The dosage is adjusted based on the changes observed after medical evaluation and administration to tailor the intensity and tapering process for each individual.

If a different composition of medicinal herbs is required separately from Gambi-jeong, customized herbal decoctions can be considered. This is not about changing the ingredients of Gambi-jeong for an individual, but switching to a different prescription.

Dosage increases must be decided only after consultation and recommendation from the director

Do not increase the dose beyond the base amount simply because weight is not decreasing as quickly as expected or because appetite has returned. The following factors are considered when determining whether to increase the dose:

  • Actual dosage and whether any doses were missed
  • Appetiteand changes in food intake
  • sleep, fatigue, and activity levels
  • changes in digestion and bowel movements
  • discomfort and other medications currently being taken
  • weekly weight trends rather than a few days

Increasing the dose beyond the base amount strictly requires consultation and recommendation from the directorFor the same reason, do not use other people's dosages or online reviews as your own standard.

You may schedule a follow-up visit regardless of whether weight loss is fast or slow

Inquiries during administration are not only for when there are side effects. The following situations are also reasons to request a follow-up medical evaluation:

  • When you wish to switch from the initial adaptation dose to the base dose
  • If your appetite or weight loss progress differs from expectations even when taking the standard dose
  • If you feel your weight is changing too rapidly
  • If you wish to decrease or increase your dosage
  • If your daily schedule has changed significantly, making it difficult to follow the previous instructions

You can report your current reaction through a non-face-to-face follow-up visit, and if an in-person check is necessary, you will be guided to visit the clinic. No additional consultation fee is charged for follow-up visits while taking Baekrok Gambi-jeong.

If you experience discomfort, check the following actions by symptom

When discomfort occurs, do not simply assume it is 'part of the process of the medicine taking effect,' nor should you simply reduce the dose in the same way for every case. Please record the time and amount of your last dose, as well as the onset and severity of the symptoms, then check the guidance appropriate for your situation.

If you experience chest pain, fainting, or difficulty breathing, or if symptoms are severe and worsen rapidly, you must seek medical evaluation at a medical institution immediately without waiting for the next consultation.

The duration of one bottle varies depending on the actual dosage

One bottle contains 120 tablets, which is a 30-day supply if taken at the standard dose of 4 tablets per day. If you take a smaller amount during the initial adaptation period, it may last longer than 30 days, and the actual usage period may vary if the dosage is changed upon the director's recommendation.

Therefore, do not look only at the expression 'how many months' worth,' but also consider the total number of tablets, the current daily dose you were instructed, and the timing of the next progress checktogether.

The goal of the dosage is not to take as much as possible, but to find the range that fits your current physical condition and weight loss progress through medical evaluation.

7-DAY FOLLOW-UP

Record these six things together rather than just a single weight number

Do not arbitrarily increase the dose when progress is slow or there is discomfort. If you leave the following records in the Baekrokdam online questionnaire, they can be reviewed in connection with your current prescription.

  1. Actual dosage and time

    Write the actual number of tablets and the times taken over the past 7 days, not the guided amount.

  2. Appetite and food intake

    Record the times when hunger is strongest, the frequency of late-night snacks or treats, and changes in meal portions.

  3. Weekly weight trend

    Look at the 7-day trend measured under the same conditions rather than a single day's value.

  4. Sleep, bowel movements, and discomfort

    Please record the time you fell asleep, and the start time of any constipation, diarrhea, throbbing, hand tremors, or stomach discomfort.

  5. Items taken together

    Please list the names and times of any prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, supplements, other diet-related Korean herbal medicines, or caffeine.

  6. Reason for requesting adjustment

    Please specify whether you wish to change the dosage or timing due to the rate of weight loss, discomfort, or changes in your schedule.
