Hi All,

 

Taikangning Jiaonang

What are the herbal ingredients and their ratios in Taikangning

Jiaonang (Peace & Good Health Medical Capsule)? See abstract

below. The dose used was 4g, TID, for 10 d. Adverse reactions were

nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dry mouth & double vision but respiration

rate, heart rate, & BP were unaffected.

 

The formula is as effective as lofexidine to Tx morphine (Mafei ),

heroin (Hailuoyin ) etc opiate class (Apian Lei ) narcotic

addiction (Dupinde Chengyin ).

 

Kang L, Li B, Gao L, Li S, Wang D, Hu M, Li J. Tai-kang-ning, a

chinese herbal medicine formula, alleviates acute heroin withdrawal.

Am J Drug Alcohol Abuse. 2008;34(3):269-76. Mental Health Center,

West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China. The efficacy

and safety of Tai-Kang-Ning Medical Capsule (TKN), a new CM formula,

for the treatment of acute heroin withdrawal syndrome were

investigated by conducting a double-blind, double-dummy, positive-

controlled, and randomized trial. Sixty-four patients with acute

heroin withdrawal syndrome were recruited. These patients were

treated with either TKN or lofexidine in a fixed schedule of doses

for 10 days. The results indicate that both treatments significantly

reduced withdrawal symptoms by day 3, but there was no significant

difference overall between lofexidine and TKN in efficacy or safety.

These results demonstrate that TKN is effective in the treatment of

moderate-to-severe acute heroin withdrawal syndrome with mild adverse

effects. PMID: 18428069 [PubMed - in process]
