Instructions for Use
Take 1 qian bi per dose; mix the medicine with 2 he of clear wine on an empty stomach and drink it all. When extremely hungry, it is best to eat a small bowl of mung bean soup; do not eat too much—stop after eating only about half a bellyful. If you eat too much and become full, the worms will emerge more slowly. Take another dose daily at sunset on an empty stomach, using the same amount as before. If you notice that your urine resembles that of a urinary tract infection, take another dose immediately, regardless of the time of day, using the same amount as before, and eat when extremely hungry.
