Features: The focus of this book is to introduce new advances in drug application and combination therapy. Based on recent literature reports, the content of the book has been comprehensively revised, with a particular emphasis on increasing the introduction of pharmacological effects, especially new achievements in traditional Chinese medicine research. Readers can learn about the pharmacological mechanisms of new drug applications and combination therapy, thereby improving their level of rational drug use. The new edition categorizes new drug applications and combination therapy as a single section, primarily introducing methods and effects of drugs used alone and in combination for various conditions, including the "new use of old drugs" in traditional Chinese and Western medicine, single formulas, and folk remedies. It is worth noting that some of these are case reports with relatively poor reproducibility, and the efficacy of the same drug therapy can vary significantly across different literature reports, making them suitable only for reference. In the section on new applications and combination therapy, the scope of drug application and various combination therapy regimens are introduced, providing options for selection and comparison. Regarding the "new use of old drugs," it should still adhere to the principles and methods proposed in the "Overview" and be strictly applied.
