I don't know when, Angong Niuhuang Pill has become a "magic medicine" for treating diseases, preventing diseases, preventing strokes, saving after one dose, and improving the sequelae of stroke hemiplegia ... Numerous stories have been circulated, and Angong Niuhuang Pill has been labeled as "coming back to life". Is that really the case?
In Chinese medicine, Angong Niuhuang Pill, Zixuedan and Zhibaodan are collectively called "three treasures of febrile diseases (cold opening)", and Angong Niuhuang Pill is the first of the three treasures.
Known as "a moment of emergency, a moment of saving life", it has been included in the national first-aid drug list.
Angong Niuhuang Pill can cure diseases, but it can't be used for health care. It contains artificial bezoar, buffalo horn concentrated powder, artificial musk, pearl, cinnabar, realgar, coptis root, scutellaria root, gardenia, turmeric root and borneol.
According to its prescription, Angong Niuhuang Pill is mainly used for clearing away heat and toxic materials, resolving phlegm and inducing resuscitation. It is mostly used for fever, such as febrile convulsion, delirium and delirium. Now it is mostly used for cerebral hemorrhage, meningitis, stroke coma and other diseases in clinic.
There is no doubt about the curative effect of Angong Niuhuang Pill, but the use of Angong Niuhuang Pill actually has very clear and strict clinical indications. It is by no means a panacea for all diseases, and it needs dialectical use by professional Chinese medicine experts.
If you don't have this symptom, don't take it as a health product. Patients with indications for this drug should also avoid long-term excessive consumption of Angong Niuhuang Pills and pay attention to "stopping middle diseases", otherwise it is easy to accumulate mercury contained in cinnabar and arsenic contained in realgar, resulting in mercury and arsenic poisoning.
The doctor reminded: Angong Niuhuang Pill is not only not suitable for daily consumption to prevent stroke, but also has the risk of poisoning after long-term use.
This is because cinnabar (mainly mercury sulfide) and realgar (mainly arsenic disulfide) in the prescription have certain toxicity. Long-term use may cause a small amount of soluble mercury and arsenic to be absorbed by human body, which will have certain chronic toxic and side effects on kidney and blood system.
In addition, it is not advisable to take Angong Niuhuang Pill for a long time after stroke, and the disease stops in the middle, which is easy to hurt for a long time. Patients with stroke sequelae have no curative effect, and even lead to critical illness or life-threatening.
Under normal circumstances, Angong Niuhuang Pills can be taken with warm water after being chewed. If you encounter patients with high fever, coma, stroke and other oral difficulties, you can also give drugs by nasal feeding (nasal).
In addition, taking Angong Niuhuang Pills should also pay attention to the following points:
① Angong Niuhuang Pill is cold and cool, and is only suitable for apoplexy with Yang-closing syndrome and heat syndrome.
If there are cold hands and feet, white greasy tongue coating and other symptoms, it belongs to deficiency syndrome, and must not be used for such patients, otherwise it is likely to aggravate the condition and turn life-saving drugs into harmful drugs.
2 pregnant women can't take it, because there is musk in Angong Niuhuang Pill, which is easy to cause miscarriage in pregnant women;
③ It is not suitable for excessive consumption, because Angong Niuhuang Pill is a "cold-opening" medicine, which has a special cold taste. Patients with deficiency cold, especially spleen and stomach deficiency cold, should use it with caution.
Angong Niuhuang Pill contains poisonous Chinese medicine cinnabar and realgar, which contains many toxic compounds such as mercury and arsenic. Excessive mercury and arsenic entering human body will cause serious liver injury and damage to blood, nervous system and kidney. Therefore, people with liver and renal insufficiency should use it with caution.
Angong Niuhuang Pill should be taken continuously for no more than 7 days, and it is not advisable to take it in additional doses or times.
Conclusion:
Angong Niuhuang Pill, as the first of "three treasures of epidemic febrile diseases", is a Chinese patent medicine for treating sudden emergencies. It does have miraculous effects, but it is by no means a panacea for all diseases. It is only suitable for coma patients with heat stroke. Remember to prescribe the right medicine to play a role, otherwise "life-saving elixir" will also become "poison".
