Features: Traditional Chinese patent medicine is an important part of our national medicine, with a long history and rich content. Most traditional Chinese patent medicines are prepared by through long-term clinical verification and summarization of effective formulas. Therefore, they have significant efficacy and minimal side effects. For thousands of years, they have not only been widely used by the Chinese people but also enjoyed a high reputation in other countries and regions around the world. Although traditional Chinese patent medicines are increasingly accepted by more people, there are still many confusions in their use due to factors such as the wide variety of types, diverse prescriptions, complex dosage forms, and varying efficacies. If used appropriately, they can produce rapid effects; otherwise, they may waste medicine, delay treatment, and even endanger lives. Therefore, the rational application of traditional Chinese patent medicines is directly related to clinical treatment outcomes and medication safety. In view of this, the author has compiled this "New Comprehensive Practical Handbook of Traditional Chinese Patent Medicines." This book is organized by efficacy and classified by clinical indications, introducing medications for internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, orthopedics, dermatology, and ophthalmology/otolaryngology. It includes the composition, functions, indications, dosage forms, specifications, usage, and remarks of each drug, to help medical professionals and patients make better choices and use them more effectively.
