But nowadays, we often see that some drugs or health care products are declared as "natural preparations and pure Chinese medicine preparations", which are non-toxic and have no side effects.

In fact, it is a misunderstanding that "Chinese patent medicine is non-toxic". If it is not used properly, Chinese patent medicine can also cause toxic and side effects like western medicine.

Why is the saying that "Chinese medicine is nontoxic" so deeply rooted in people’s hearts?

According to the current situation, the research on the effective components and pharmacological effects of most traditional Chinese medicines is not as thorough as that of western medicines. Long-term and large-sample clinical trials are needed before western medicines are put on the market. The adverse reactions are fully studied, and the corresponding parts in the instructions are clearly written, and their shortcomings are unambiguous. This actually gives patients full right to know and protects them to the maximum extent. However, there is a lack of research on the adverse reactions of traditional Chinese medicine, especially Chinese herbal medicine, which is mostly used by experience. The analysis of effective components of many drugs is still under exploration, let alone the study of side effects.

For some Chinese patent medicines, the relevant research data is also very scarce, and the corresponding parts in the instructions are either simply described or omitted, which misleads patients and thinks it is very safe. In addition, the media often deliberately emphasize "pure Chinese medicine preparation" in propaganda, which actually plays a misleading role in fueling the "non-toxic Chinese medicine".

Therefore, if Chinese patent medicine is improperly applied,

Will cause toxic side effects like western medicine.

It can delay the illness, but it is life-threatening.

Here are some commonly used Chinese patent medicines.

Let’s talk about their side effects

Xiaohuoluo Pill has been reported to have taken this medicine because of traumatic scapulohumeral periarthritis or lumbar sprain. As a result, symptoms such as chest tightness, dyspnea and itchy skin appeared, and the symptoms disappeared after treatment. The reason may be related to the allergic reaction caused by the animal protein contained in the earthworm (earthworm) in the prescription.

However, it has been reported that after taking the medicine for trigeminal neuralgia, the whole body appeared punctate pink papules, edema of face and lower limbs, aversion to cold and high fever, and head swelling and pain after stopping treatment.

Once there is any abnormality, we should stop taking medicine immediately and go to the hospital for treatment.
