Features: Compatibility is the core issue of TCM formulas, and paired drug formulas provide basic, simple, clear, reliable evidence for the study of formula compatibility. The paired drug formulas throughout history cover various basic forms of compatibility in Chinese medicine compound formulas, such as principal-secondary, counter-indications, synergistic complementarity, mutual facilitation, yin-yang, cold-heat, tonifying-expelling, dispersing-constringing, ascending-descending, opening-closing, hardness-softness, moistening-drying, and dynamic-static. Therefore, strengthening the research on paired drug formulas will not only deepen and enhance the theoretical understanding of traditional formula composition and compatibility but also lay a solid foundation for the modern research of Chinese medicine compound formulas.
