Patient's question:
Husband gets particularly annoyed with taking Ganmao Keli every time he has a cold. He says it's a traditional Chinese medicine with no side effects, and that taking it once can make him feel better. I've tried it once when I had a cold too, and it's indeed much more effective than Western medicine. What are the ingredients in Ganmao Keli?Doctor's answer:
The Ganmao Granules is a traditional Chinese medicine. Its main ingredients include Tripterygium wilfordii, Helenium flexuosum, Chrysanthemum sinense, Leptopus chinensis, caffeine, paracetamol, chlorpheniramine maleate, and peppermint oil. It is quite effective for nasal congestion, runny nose, fever, and headache caused by colds. While taking the medicine, avoid spicy and greasy foods. Drink plenty of water and maintain sufficient deep sleep.
