Features: Based on the fact that most traditional Chinese patent medicines (TCM) are over-the-counter drugs, purchased by patients themselves or recommended by physicians, the author introduces how to use TCM reasonably, detailing the principles of syndrome differentiation and treatment, targeted medication, compatibility prohibitions, optimal timing for medication, toxicity and adverse reactions, and key considerations for dosage form selection. Additionally, it provides over 1,000 entries on various TCMs, covering their indications, usage and dosage, medication tips, and dosage form specifications, with specific examples from internal medicine, orthopedics, gynecology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and dermatology. The content is easy to understand, scientifically sound, highly targeted, instructive, and practical, making it a valuable reference for both patients and healthcare professionals.
