Is it true that Angong Niuhuang Pills can be preserved for a hundred years? With this question, today I will talk about the health care of the stunned and the expiration date of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese patent medicine. Basic information about the expiration date

The concept of drug expiration date is from the west, and all western medicines have expiration dates. The validity period of Chinese patent medicines with the quasi-brand name of National Medicine sold in medical institutions and pharmacies in China is mandatory; Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal pieces are not compulsory by the state.

how to ensure the quality of Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal pieces?

to tell the truth, it's really hard to control the quality of products. If it is a Chinese medicine pharmacy in a hospital or a larger chain pharmacy, the safety can generally be guaranteed.

expiry date of Chinese patent medicine

This is actually a good thing for users. Otherwise, drugs will fail, toxic and harmful substances will increase, and everyone will not know that they are still in use, so it will be troublesome if there are safety problems. Even with this requirement, there are still problems such as frequent adverse reactions of Chinese patent medicines such as traditional Chinese medicine injections, which are very necessary to be controlled. Therefore, it is necessary to give the drug a standard, a qualified standard, and draw the conclusion of the validity period after long-term stability research, that is, to ensure that the drug is safe and effective within the validity period. For proprietary Chinese medicines, it is now mandatory and must be marked with the expiration date.

expiry date of traditional Chinese medicine

For traditional Chinese medicine, most of them are made by processing and drying. As long as they are stored properly, they will not go bad. Mineral drugs, in particular, are very stable and generally have no problems for ten years. However, the quality of some herbal medicines is likely to have declined, and the appearance has not changed, which does not mean that it is still effective. In particular, some medicinal materials containing volatile main components, if stored for too long, the effective components will evaporate, the quality will definitely not be guaranteed, and the curative effect will also decline. Therefore, although there is no expiration date for this piece of traditional Chinese medicine at present, I think it is estimated that there will be corresponding regulations soon. This is actually to avoid risks, and it is for the safety of people's medication. Angong Niuhuang Pill < P > clears away heat and toxic materials, and relieves shock and resuscitation. Used for fever, pathogen entering pericardium, febrile convulsion and delirium; Stroke coma, encephalitis, meningitis, toxic encephalopathy, cerebral hemorrhage and septicemia. Why can Angong Niuhuang Pills be preserved for so long?

Dr. Bu Yao believes that everything should be viewed from both sides, and not across the board. For example, the Angong Niuhuang Pill mentioned in Tongrentang is a honey pill, and its main ingredient is mostly mineral Chinese medicine, which is not easy to deteriorate. A thick layer of wax is wrapped outside to isolate the air, basically? Nothing to lose? Yes. It is said that Tongrentang does have Angong Niuhuang Pills that have been preserved for more than 1 years, and they have not deteriorated. Tongrentang Chinese patent medicine Angong Niuhuang Pill has only been approved for 48 months. This is actually a waste of resources.

So simply taking Angong Niuhuang Pills, if the wax layer is unbroken, odorless, sticky and soft, will not have adverse effects on the body. However, other proprietary Chinese medicines, mainly herbal medicines and woody medicines, should still be used within the validity period. How to preserve Angong Niuhuang Pills?

ventilation. In order to avoid the deterioration of Angong Niuhuang Pill, put it in a cool and ventilated environment as far as possible, and the medicinal materials are prone to mildew and deterioration in a closed environment.

moistureproof. Angong Niuhuang Pills should be stored in a dry and non-humid place, because the Chinese herbal medicines in them are easy to lose their medicinal properties or even deteriorate after being wetted.

sun protection. Angong Niuhuang Pills must be protected from direct sunlight and placed in a box or glass container with good shading and ventilation.

low temperature protection. Many people think that putting drugs in the refrigerator can prolong the shelf life, but it is actually a wrong idea. Because it is easy to condense water in the refrigerator, the medicine will deteriorate due to moisture.

pressure protection. Try to put Angong Niuhuang Pill on the top layer to avoid being squeezed by heavy objects, which will damage the medicine and affect its normal preservation.

don't destroy protective substances. Generally, the surface of Angong Niuhuang Pills has a protective layer sealed with wax, which can effectively protect the medicinal properties of drugs and prolong the shelf life of drugs.
