Features: For thousands of years, the study of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compatibility has been highly valued by generations of medical practitioners. From the Shen Nong's Herbal Classic and Supplement to the Classic of Materia Medica to A New Compendium of Materia Medica; from Zhang Zhongjing and Sun Simiao to Zhang Shanlei and Zhang Xichun, all have left behind extensive empirical knowledge. With the deepening integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, the concurrent use of Chinese and Western medicines for disease prevention and treatment has become increasingly common, presenting practical challenges for clinicians. In some cases, the concurrent use of Chinese and Western medicines can achieve therapeutic effects that surpass those of using either alone. However, in other cases, their combination may lead to adverse reactions, even resulting in fatal consequences. Therefore, familiarity with the interactions between Chinese and Western medicines is of great significance for clinicians. The publication of this book fills the gap in China's lack of specialized works on the interactions between Chinese and Western medicines. It is based on a comprehensive collection of domestic and international literature, combined with the author's many years of teaching and clinical experience.
