Safety. Gypsum is a mineral (hydrated calcium sulfate) and should come from a source tested for heavy-metal contamination. Prepared rehmannia is rich and cloying and commonly aggravates loose stools, poor appetite or a weak digestion. Achyranthes root is traditionally avoided during pregnancy because it directs movement downward, and this caution is worth taking at face value. The formula is built for a pattern that combines excess heat above with yin deficiency below, and it is not a general-purpose remedy for toothache or mouth discomfort. Which herb amounts apply is decided by a licensed practitioner, and is deliberately not stated here.

石膏为矿物（含水硫酸钙），须用经重金属检测的合格品。熟地黄滋腻，易加重便溏、纳差或脾胃虚弱。牛膝传统上因引血下行而列为孕妇慎用，此忌宜认真看待。本方针对上实下虚、胃热肾阴不足之证，不是牙痛或口腔不适的通用方。各药用量由持证医师确定，此处不列。
