Main Ingredients and Effects of Angong Niuhuang Pills

Angong Niuhuang Pills is composed of ox horn, tulip gold, rhinoceros horn, yellow rhizome, gardenia, andrographis, vermillion, scutellaria, pearl, ice tablet and musk.

It has the efficacy of clearing heat and removing toxins, expelling phlegm and opening up the orifices, and is used in the treatment of stroke coma and encephalitis, meningitis, toxic encephalopathy, cerebral hemorrhage, sepsis, and so on.

The reason why sky-high prices of drugs are sought after

A few years ago, there have been online Angong Niuhuang Pills speculated to tens of thousands of dollars a pill price, in fact, during the same period of Angong Niuhuang Pills produced by Beijing Tong Ren Tang price is only in 300 yuan a pill or so.

Tens of thousands of yuan An Gong Pills and the biggest difference between the commercially available An Gong Pills is that the former is produced before 1993, the formula used in the rhinoceros horn, and after that, due to the country's explicit ban on the use of rhinoceros horn, the use of similar efficacy of buffalo horn.

Admittedly, buffalo horn and rhinoceros horn compared to although the efficacy is similar, but the effectiveness is not the difference between high and low, which is why there is a high price to buy a scene before 1993 Angong Niuhuang Pills.

Objectively speaking, although the efficacy of rhinoceros horn is better than buffalo horn, but the efficacy of the drug also lies in the good preservation, too long preservation time has been unable to determine whether the drug exists moisture and other phenomena, and no one dares to give its efficacy of the packaged goods, so the high price of the drug which is completely unnecessary.

Angong Niuhuang Pill is a miracle drug in Chinese folklore. Widely spread in folklore, it is also a good gift, and its miraculous efficacy is all in the word of mouth of the common people.

But if you're in a modern hospital, you'll hardly hear about the wonders of Angong Niuhuang Pills. Would a doctor prescribe Angong Niuhuang Pills for first aid for a stroke patient in the neurology department? Obviously not.

There are a few points that everyone must be aware of:

1. Angong Niuhuang Pills, in the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, is a first-aid medicine, not a health care medicine, and the vermilion sand and other ingredients in it are poisonous.

2. Angong Niuhuang Pills is a prescription medicine that requires medical assessment for use and not something to be bought and given to relatives or friends. There are indications and contraindications for this medicine, which need to be professionally identified by a doctor.

3. The timing of the use of Angong Niuhuang Wan, the instructions say: clearing heat and removing toxins, suppressing fright and opening the orifices, the evil into the pericardium, high fever and convulsions, fainting and nightmare speech. Basically, it is used for patients who are not awake, and patients who are awake do not need to be used again.

4. When administered to unconscious patients, Angong Niuhuang Pills should not be put into the mouth, which is prone to accidental aspiration and suffocation, but should be injected into the stomach through a gastric tube.

5. There is no evidence in modern medicine that Angong Niuhuang Wan has the miraculous effects claimed in its instructions, which is a common problem with many traditional Chinese medicines. There are no high-quality studies to verify this. It's all the old Chinese doctor's "last time a patient was very effective" routine.
