What are the effects and benefits of Liu Shen Capsules?
Liu Shen Capsules mainly possess the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic, and can be used to treat sore throat with red spots, sore throat, throat wind and throat abscess, unilateral or bilateral tonsillitis, and children's febrile ulcer, etc. Liu Shen Capsules are traditional Chinese medicine, consisting of six ingredients: calculus bovis artificiatus, pearl powder, mosquito repellent powder (artificial musk), toad venom, realgar, and borneol. Among them, calculus bovis artificiatus is bitter, cold, and clearing, skilled in clearing heat and detoxifying; pearl powder can clear heat and detoxify, resolve decay and promote tissue regeneration; mosquito repellent powder (artificial musk) can promote blood circulation to remove blood stasis, eliminate swelling, and relieve pain; toad venom and realgar can detoxify, eliminate swelling, and relieve pain; borneol can clear heat, disperse nodules, eliminate swelling, relieve pain, resolve decay, and promote tissue regeneration. Therefore, the six ingredients combined into Liu Shen Capsules have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic, and are mainly used for sore throat with red spots (similar to scarlet fever), sore throat, throat wind and throat abscess, unilateral or bilateral tonsillitis, children's febrile ulcer, carbuncle, ulcerated sore, and unknown swelling and inflammation, etc. The adverse reactions of Liu Shen Capsules are not yet clear, but they are only for adults, and pregnant women are prohibited from taking them. Since Liu Shen Capsules contain toad venom and realgar, which have certain toxicity, excessive or long-term use can easily lead to toxic reactions, so they should be used strictly according to medical advice. After taking the medicine, attention should be paid to observing one's own physical condition. If there is discomfort or worsening of symptoms, one should consult a doctor or visit the hospital in a timely manner to avoid serious physical injury.
