CAUTIONS & CONTRAINDICATIONS
This formula is contraindicated in cases of yin-type (deep-rooted) furuncles or carbuncles where the appearance is grayish dark and shows no signs of redness or pain.
This formula is contraindicated during pregnancy and nursing.
Use with caution in cases of Spleen qi deficiency or yang deficiency with coldness of the extremities.
This formula is not designed for long-term use. It should be discontinued when the desired effects are achieved.
Though this formula has herbs with marked anti-infective and anti-inflammatory effects, certain conditions, such as acute appendicitis, are still better treated with surgery to avoid rupture of the appendix.
This herbal formula contains herbs that invigorate blood circulation. Therefore, patients who are on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapies, such as Coumadin (warfarin), should use this formula with caution, or not at all, as there may be a higher risk of bleeding and bruising
 
CLINICAL NOTES
The primary effect of Resolve (AI) is to reduce inflammation and swelling to soften hardness and nodules. Though it contains herbs with anti-infective effects, use of this formula alone may not be sufficient in treating acute infection with inflammation, such as in tonsillitis or sinusitis. Instead, another formula with heat-clearing, anti-infective actions should be added to potentiate its effect.
Inflammation of the lymphatic system will often cause subcutaneous formation of hardness and nodules. Such conditions can be effectively treated with Resolve (AI).
