What are the dosage forms of ancient drugs that are not used now?

At present, the widely used dosage forms are made according to the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine, such as Liuwei Dihuang Pill, Xiaoyao Powder, Buzhong Yiqi Pill, etc., which are not very good Chinese patent medicines.

Advantages: convenient administration, good taste, less bitter than decoction, less side effects, and easy to carry and store.

Disadvantages: the curative effect is not as good as that of decocting Chinese medicine, and Chinese patent medicines are generally made of mature Chinese medicine prescriptions, and the scope of treatment is not so extensive that it can not be added or subtracted clinically.

Different dosage forms of traditional Chinese medicine have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the existence of each dosage form has its rationality. You can choose according to your actual situation when you see Chinese medicine. If you really don't have time to boil medicine at ordinary times, you can choose to avoid frying, powder frying and finished medicine. If you have the conditions to cook Chinese medicine yourself, I suggest you cook it yourself. After all, this method has the best curative effect ~
