When is the best time to eat Angong Niuhuang Pill?

It is one of the first-aid drugs and can be taken at any time, preferably immediately.

There is no doubt about the curative effect of Angong Niuhuang Pill, but it is by no means a panacea for all diseases. People must master the indications and precautions before taking this medicine, and it is best to take it under the guidance of a doctor. So, what should I pay attention to when taking Angong Niuhuang Pills?

1. Coma patients with cold hands and feet, greasy forehead and white greasy tongue coating should take Wenfang Suhexiang Pill instead of Angong Niuhuang Pill.

2. Patients with yin deficiency with symptoms of red tongue and little fur should not take Angong Niuhuang Pill, otherwise it will aggravate the damage of vaginal fluid in the body.

3. Angong Niuhuang Pill contains musk, which is easy to cause miscarriage of pregnant women. Pregnant women should use Angong Niuhuang Pill with caution.

4. Calculus Bovis, rhinoceros horn, realgar, Rhizoma Coptidis, Scutellariae Radix, Gardenia and other drugs in Angong Niuhuang Pills are cold products, which are easy to damage people's spleen and stomach. Therefore, patients with spleen and stomach weakness who often have diarrhea should not take Angong Niuhuang Pill.

5. Cinnabar and realgar in Angong Niuhuang Pills contain toxic components such as mercury sulfide and arsenic sulfide respectively, so people should not take Angong Niuhuang Pills in large quantities or for a long time.

6. Angong Niuhuang Pill contains realgar. When realgar meets nitrite or ferrous salts (ferrous sulfate, ferrous gluconate and ferrous fumarate), thioarsenate can be generated, which reduces the curative effect of Angong Niuhuang Pill. Similarly, realgar can oxidize arsenic sulfide contained in realgar when it meets nitrate or sulfate, thus enhancing its toxicity. Therefore, Angong Niuhuang should not be taken with nitrite, ferrous salt, nitrate and sulfate drugs.

7. Angong Niuhuang Pill contains rhinoceros horn. According to the principle that "Aconitum kusnezoffii is not suitable for rhinoceros" in the "Nineteen Fears" of traditional Chinese medicine, we should avoid taking Angong Niuhuang Pills or drugs containing Aconitum kusnezoffii.

8. During taking Angong Niuhuang Pill, you should avoid spicy and thick things, so as not to help the fire produce phlegm.
