Why do I need to take so many pills per dosage?

Herbal pills are not as concentrated as pharmaceutical drugs and you may need to take more pills than you would normally take when you are prescribed Western medicines. Depending on the type of medicine and your personal constitution, you can expect to take between two pills to eight pills per dosage, two or three times per day. You may find it easier to split the dosage up so that you can take a few pills at a time.
