What kind of stroke patients should not take Angong Niuhuang Pills?
What kind of stroke patients should not take Angong Niuhuang Pills? 
Dr. Clove is here to answer that question.
Angong Niuhuang Pill is known as one of the 'Three Treasures of Warm Diseases' in traditional medicine, and is used as a first aid medicine, but it is also classified as a prescription medicine. Because of its indication, it is not simply 'coma' but requires professional diagnosis.
Check the instructions of Angong Niuhuang Pills, its functions and main indications: clearing heat and removing toxins, suppressing fright and opening the mind. It is used for fever, evil into the pericardium, high fever convulsions, stroke coma and encephalitis, toxic encephalopathy, cerebral hemorrhage, sepsis with the above symptoms.
These descriptions are prominently characterized by high fever, convulsions, and coma.
According to its instructions, if used for stroke, itsThe indication should be patients with severe stroke with coma, and if combined with central hyperthermia, it would be even more symptomatic.
I. Not applicable to the following stroke patients!
It is worth noting that there are no indications for the use of Angong Niuhuang Wan for those who have had a general stroke but are still conscious, and those who experience slurred speech, weakness of the limbs, and crookedness of the corners of the mouth.
And even if the stroke coma, Angong Niu Huang Wan is not all applicable, its instructions clearly said: this product for heat closure of the Shen fainting and set up, cold closure of the Shen fainting shall not be used.
For the general public, how can they differentiate between heat and cold? Is it not a sign of indulgence for the general public to use drugs indiscriminately when they are sold drugs as readily as "supermarket goods"?
Secondly, the abuse of "Angong Niuhuang Pills" is fatal!
Manufacturers on the market currently publicize it, and are also relatively irresponsible, causing ordinary people to be misled into taking it in an unsuitable state of dizziness, chest tightness, or drunkenness. What's more, some manufacturers claim that this drug is used for health care, according to the season to eat, in the hibernation, Qingming, winter solstice and other festivals to take the best - can be described as heartless. Some people even take this medicine to the poor appetite of 2-year-old children to take!
So, can you imagine how many people have used this drug wrong?
And the pitfalls of abusing Angong Niu Huang Pills are twofold:
One, the risk of poisoning.Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine First Affiliated Hospital Pharmacy Director of Chinese pharmacist Zeng Huifang pointed out that Angong Niuhuang Pills contain andrographis and cinnabar, which are toxic drugs, the patient's fever subsides or wake up that should be discontinued;
Second, the danger of suffocation.It is a medical consensus (regardless of Chinese and Western medicine) that comatose patients should not be fed anything, including water. Because of the loss of consciousness after coma, loss of swallowing and coughing ability, feeding anything may happen to be mistakenly inhaled, resulting in a more dangerous situation in the airway, and in serious cases, causing the patient to die.
3. "Angong Niu Huang Pills", can't be used in this way.
To summarize, there are precautions for the use of Angong Niuhuang Pills:
1, cannot be used in awake patients;
2, can not be used without a clear indication of cold and heat dialectic;
3, should not be given orally at home to patients without a nasal feeding tube.
I like this famous line originated from Tong Ren Tang: "No one can see you when you are practicing harmony, but heaven knows what you are doing when you are saving your heart. It means that when no one is watching over you, you should not act against your conscience or forget what is right, because what you have done is known to heaven.
Therefore, Tongrentang is also requested to, in line with the attitude of "Great Country Craftsmen, Craftsmanship for the World", do more for the benefit of the public in terms of the flow and use of Angong Niu Huang Pills, and limit the use of Angong Niu Huang Pills to be prescribed by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and used in hospitals only. As with injections of Western medicines, patients are basically not allowed to bring them home for use. Because injections require intravenous access, which must be carried out by doctors and nurses; and Angong Niu Huang Pills also require nasal gastric tube access, which can only be carried out by doctors and nurses.

Many people have heard that the family, but there are older people, always have a few Angong Niu Huang Pills, because "after a stroke, take Angong Niu Huang Pills, have the effect of bringing the dead back to life".
In fact, this approach is not desirable, although this drug on the stroke of evil heat internal closure evidence patients have heat, open up, promote wakefulness of the efficacy, but if the use of the wrong symptoms, it will be counterproductive, aggravate the condition. Especially when the patient appears coma, swallowing difficulties, family members unauthorized oral pills to the patient, it is likely to let the drug choking into the trachea leading to asphyxiation.
Yang and Yin Closure in Stroke Closure Disease
Closure: Sudden fainting, unconsciousness, teeth closed, mouth silent, two hands hold fixed, urine and feces closed, limbs strong spasm, according to the presence or absence of cold and heat signs, distinguish between Yin and Yang closure.
Yang Closure: This is also known as Heat Closure. In addition to the general symptoms of Closure, there is redness of the face and body, heat, thick breath, bad breath, restlessness, yellowish and greasy tongue, and a slippery and numbered pulse.
It is only when these symptoms are manifested during a stroke that you can take Angong Niuhuang Pills, which are well known in the market today.
Yin closure: also known as cold closure, in addition to the general symptoms of closure, there are white face and dark lips, lying down without bother, limbs are not warm, phlegm congestion, white and greasy tongue coating, pulse is smooth or slow.
When a stroke victim exhibits these symptoms, he or she needs to take Suhagra pills to save the day.
