Relatively speaking, western medicine has a single component, and often only acts on a single target to play a role, while Chinese patent medicine can be improved from multiple angles and targets, which has a unique advantage in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases with complex causes. It can not only improve symptoms, but also promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, dredge collaterals, reduce blood lipid and prevent atherosclerosis. Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases with blood stasis blocking collaterals commonly use Zhibitai capsule, Ginkgo biloba leaves and Xuefu Zhuyu pills.
Zhibitai Capsule is composed of Fructus Crataegi, Alismatis Rhizoma, Atractylodis Rhizoma, and Monascus. It has the effects of eliminating phlegm and removing blood stasis, invigorating spleen and regulating stomach, and is mainly used for hyperlipidemia caused by phlegm and blood stasis and adverse qi and blood. Patients often show dizziness, chest tightness, abdominal distension, loss of appetite, mental fatigue and so on. Try to avoid high-fat diet, such as fat meat, poultry skin, internal organs, egg yolk, etc. during and after taking the medicine.
Animal experiments show that Zhibitai capsule can prevent and treat experimental hyperlipidemia (animal model) in rats and rabbits, promote and improve the level of lipid metabolism, reduce cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein, increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and obviously improve and regulate lipid metabolism disorder. It can also reduce the level of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, inhibit inflammatory reaction, prevent and treat atherosclerosis, reduce the degree of atherosclerosis, and reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Ginkgo biloba leaves, mainly composed of Ginkgo biloba extract, contain total flavonol glycosides, terpene lactones, etc. It has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and dredging collaterals, and is suitable for patients with chest obstruction, heartache, stroke, hemiplegia, strong tongue, stable angina pectoris of coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction caused by qi deficiency and blood stasis and blood stasis blocking collaterals.
Ginkgo biloba extract can regulate the whole arterial system, venous system and capillaries, restore the vasomotor function of great vessels, improve hemorheology, relieve brain and peripheral edema, and protect blood-brain barrier and blood-eye barrier. In addition, it can improve cell metabolism, especially protect cranial nerves and nerve sensory cells. So as to improve the blood supply and oxygen supply to the heart and brain of patients as a whole, eliminate related symptoms and improve the quality of life of patients.
Xuefuzhuyu Pill consists of Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Semen Persicae, Carthami Flos, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Radix Rehmanniae, Achyranthis Radix, Fructus Aurantii (parched with bran), Radix Platycodonis, Radix Bupleuri and Radix Glycyrrhizae. Has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, promoting qi circulation and relieving pain. Indications: headache or chest pain caused by internal resistance of blood stasis, oppression due to internal heat, insomnia and dreaminess, palpitation, impatience and anger. It is suitable for headache, dizziness, sequelae of brain injury, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, etc.
Modern pharmacological research shows that Xuefu Zhuyu Pill has the functions of reducing blood lipid, resisting platelet aggregation (inhibiting platelet aggregation and promoting platelet disaggregation), resisting inflammation, improving hemorheology, improving microcirculation, enhancing peritoneal macrophage phagocytosis and so on, and can revive the liver's scavenging ability. It can obviously improve various hemorheological indexes such as whole blood specific viscosity, plasma specific viscosity, red blood cell volume, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, fibrinogen content and thrombosis in vitro.
Animal experiments show that Xuefu Zhuyu Pill can obviously dilate mesenteric arteries and veins, open more capillaries, speed up blood flow, obviously improve erythrocyte aggregation, leukocyte adhesion, rolling and accumulation, and eliminate blood flow stagnation. Smooth blood vessels, increase blood supply and oxygen supply to tissues and organs, and improve all clinical symptoms related to blood stasis.
In a word, these three drugs all have the function of lowering blood fat, regulating qi and blood, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and dredging collaterals, and are especially suitable for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases of blood stasis blocking collaterals, including hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, cerebral infarction, sequelae of brain injury, etc., which can unblock blood vessels fundamentally and effectively improve symptoms such as dizziness, headache, chest tightness, chest pain, insomnia, dreaminess, anorexia and fatigue.
