In traditional Chinese medicine, cold or cooling drugs are often used to deal with internal heat-related diseases. Coptidis Shangqing Tablets is a typical example. Its main ingredient is Coptis chinensis, which is a bitter-tasting and cold-natured food. It has heat-clearing and detoxifying effects, and can also inhibit the activity of viruses. This property also determines that it can only be used to treat symptoms of excessive fire, and not all fires or colds can be treated with it. For example, although some people have obvious internal heat on the surface, it is actually caused by yin deficiency. At this time, clearing away heat alone cannot solve the problem. Instead, it is necessary to use yin-nourishing drugs to achieve internal balance. If you take Coptis chinensis again, Bitter and cold medicine like Shangqing Tablets will not only have no effect, but will cause more problems. The above is the knowledge about the side effects of Coptis Shangqing Tablets, and I hope to draw everyone's attention. It is true that minor illnesses encountered in life can be solved with commonly used over-the-counter medicines, but you also need to carefully understand your own constitution. If your condition does not improve after taking it for a few days, you should still consult a doctor in time.
