(Attending physician of traditional Chinese medicine)

Constipation is a problem that puzzles many people. Some people defecate less often, some people defecate once a day, but some people defecate very hard. These are called constipation. There are many ways to treat constipation, such as traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine, and some health tea and health products, which also have a certain effect on relieving constipation. I would like to remind you not to take irregular drugs or health tea easily, because it may contain some ingredients that cause diarrhea, which has strong toxic and side effects and is not good for your health.

Constipation patients must take regular Chinese medicine or western medicine. The advantage of western medicine is fast defecation, such as lactulose; The advantage of traditional Chinese medicine lies in treating chronic habitual constipation. Taking traditional Chinese medicine combined with diet conditioning, and gradually establishing correct defecation habits and biological clocks, most patients have better curative effects. Some Chinese patent medicines are better for constipation, especially for emergency use. If you want to relieve constipation for a short time and don't want to make soup, you can choose to use them.

This paper introduces a Chinese patent medicine-Maren soft capsule, which has the effect of moistening intestine and relaxing bowels. Mainly used for constipation due to intestinal dryness, and used with caution for other types of constipation. Adults can take 2 ~ 3 capsules each time, three times a day, and children can reduce their stools as appropriate. According to my clinical observation, it usually takes half a day to react. People can excrete feces, and some people can do it faster.

The main components of Fructus Cannabis soft capsule are Fructus Cannabis, Semen Armeniacae Amarum, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, Fructus Aurantii Immaturus (parched), Cortex Magnolia Officinalis (processed with ginger) and Radix Paeoniae Alba (parched); The auxiliary materials are palm oil, hydrogenated palm oil, beeswax, phospholipid and salad oil. This prescription is too familiar, that is, the pockmarked pill of Zhang Zhongjing, the medical saint. "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" records the original text as follows: "The pulse of supporting yang is floating and astringent, and the floating pulse is stronger than the stomach, and the astringency is the number of urine. Floating and astringent, hard stool, and its spleen is about, and Maziren Pill treats it. "

There is also a Chinese patent medicine called Maren Pill, which is basically the prescription of Maziren Pill by Zhang Zhongjing. According to my personal observation, it may not be comprehensive, and its effect of rapid defecation and emergency relief is not as good as that of Maren soft capsule. I analyzed the reasons. On the one hand, in addition to the above traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, palm oil and other oils are added to the soft capsules, which enhances the laxative effect. On the other hand, it is related to the dosage form. Different from pills, soft capsules are a modern dosage form. There can be liquid medicine in the soft capsule, so that it can be digested and absorbed faster in the intestine and exert its efficacy quickly.

However, it is best not to take hemp soft capsules as habitual drugs. Otherwise, drug resistance is self-evident, and the most important thing is that long-term use has the risk of causing black bowel disease. I have specially discussed this issue with western medicine experts in anorectal department. Long-term use of some laxative teas or health products that claim to have laxative effects may cause the risk of black bowel disease, but most people don't pay much attention to it.

Prescription of Maren Soft Capsule

Maren soft capsule has the effects of moistening intestine, purging heat, promoting qi circulation and relaxing bowels, and is mainly used to treat constipation caused by dryness-heat of spleen and stomach. Common symptoms include dry stool, abdominal distension and abdominal pain, red face and fever, dry mouth and bad breath, upset, short and red urine, red tongue with yellow coating and slippery pulse. It is often used to treat constipation due to intestinal dryness, habitual constipation, postpartum constipation, constipation after hemorrhoid operation and other people with physical weakness and gastrointestinal dryness and heat.

The hemp seed in the formula is sweet and smooth, moist and fatty, and has the function of moistening the intestines and relaxing the bowels. It's the monarch medicine. Almond inhibits lung qi on the upper side and moistens the large intestine on the lower side; Radix Paeoniae Alba nourishes blood and astringes yin, and is used urgently to relieve pain. Rhubarb, Fructus Aurantii Immaturus and Magnolia Officinalis are collectively called Xiaochengqi Decoction, which is used to relieve accumulated heat and eliminate gastrointestinal dryness and heat. Honey is sweet and slow, which not only helps hemp seed to moisten intestines and relax bowels, but also relieves the attack of Xiaochengqi decoction.

Note that although this prescription is a laxative, it contains products that are decomposed and accumulated. Not suitable for people with fluid deficiency and blood deficiency, pregnant women should use it with caution.
