Red koji helps health care? Possible bleeding and inappropriateFood and Drug Administration stated that if the content of monacolin K in red koji products meets the legal standards, you can apply for a healthy food that has the effect of adjusting blood fat. However, in order to buy foods containing red koji healthily, many people do not know that the monacolin K component is similar to the ingredients of the "statin" blood lipid-lowering drugs. The combination of the use will enhance the side effects of blood lipid-lowering drugs, such as: it may cause liver and kidney injury, increase the incidence of muscle disease and myolysis, cause of unknown pain, and changes in urine color.
Pharma Guo pointed out that in addition to the "statin" blood lipid-lowering drugs, red koji may also interact with multiple drugs, and may still cause harm even if the time of taking is not opened. For example: combined with other blood lipid-lowering drugs (such as gemfibrozil, niacin) may increase the incidence of stratum myolysis; used simultaneously with antibacterial drugs (azoles), may increase side effects such as hepatotoxicity and muscle aches; combined with anticoagulant drugs (warfarin) may affect coagulation function.
