As the College Scholastic Ability Test approaches, inquiries about the health of test takers are pouring out on the portal site.

In particular, there are many questions about taking drugs that help increase last-minute concentration.

It is also a common question whether it is okay to eat Cheongsimhwan or Gongjindan now.

These herbal medicines are known to be effective in rejuvenating tension and increasing concentration, but

If taken incorrectly, it could rather ruin the test.

Cheongsimhwan is known to have nerve stability, muscle tension relief, headache and insomnia improvement,
You may experience side effects such as falling asleep
or poor concentration.

Gong diagnosis can also help improve concentration, but misuse can cause side effects such as sharpness of nerves or heart palpitations,
If you take the 'Cheonwangbo Heartdan', commonly called
, incorrectly, diarrhea and dizziness can occur.

Korean medicine doctors do not consider the day before or on the day of the College Scholastic Ability Test, their constitution or dosage, etc.

If you take herbal medicine that you haven't taken in a while, you are likely to suffer side effects, and please be careful.

In particular, it is emphasized that Cheongsimhwan or Gongjindae should be taken one to two weeks before the CSAT date and then taken at an appropriate time.

[Lee So-yeon / Public Relations Director of the Korean Medical Association: If you're too stable, you can relax your tension and lose concentration. That could ruin the test....]

When prescribing medicine at a general hospital or pharmacy, as well as herbal medicine,
It is also a good idea to inform you that you are a
examinee and ask for measures such as adjusting the prescription amount of the ingredients that cause drowsiness.
