Cinnabar is toxic and its toxicity is caused by mercury. Unreasonable medication leads to acute large-scale absorption of mercury or mercury accumulation poisoning, which is the main cause of clinical adverse reactions.

Kidney is the main target organ of mercury poisoning, and the unreasonable compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine or Chinese and western medicine may enhance the toxicity of cinnabar. Therefore, the key to avoid cinnabar poisoning lies in rational drug use.
