Angong Niuhuang Pill is one of the most famous emergency medicines in traditional Chinese medicine, which is originated from the book of differentiation of febrile diseases by Wu Jutong, a doctor in Qing Dynasty.

Jiang Zhichao said that Angong Niuhuang Pill is an emergency medicine, not a preventive medicine or a health medicine. Its curative effect is beyond doubt, but it is not a panacea.
An Angong Niuhuang Pill from the 1960s was sold at a sky high price of 110000 yuan, and an Angong Niuhuang Pill from 1993 was also sold for tens of thousands of yuan. In response to this situation, Jiang Zhichao said that the high price of Angong Niuhuang Pill, on the one hand, has a certain relationship with its drug composition, but on the other hand, there may be other social factors, so speculation is not ruled out. Before that, Angong Niuhuang Pill used concentrated powder of rhinoceros horn, and the effect of rhinoceros horn on clearing heat and cooling blood would be better than buffalo horn. Jiang Zhichao explained that after China implemented the animal protection regulations in 1993, the horn of wild animal rhinoceros could not be added to the medicine, and the manufacturer replaced it with buffalo horn concentrated powder.

According to the relevant drug management regulations, drugs, including Chinese patent medicines, have a clear period of validity. Therefore, it is not recommended to take expired drugs.
Reminder: the medicine should be treated according to the doctor's syndrome differentiation. It is not recommended to buy and take it by yourself
Jiang Zhichao, deputy chief physician and medical doctor of the Department of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine of the second people's Hospital of Hunan Province, said that Angong Niuhuang Pill needs to be dialectical in the treatment of stroke and other diseases, and it can be used for ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke that conforms to the syndrome of phlegm heat or heat entering the pericardium.
He said that as a kind of emergency medicine with special curative effect, when the symptoms of phlegm heat or heat entering the pericardium are cured, the corresponding TCM or proprietary Chinese medicine should be used according to the syndrome type of the patient. Once the phlegm heat disappears, it is no longer applicable after the patient wakes up.
Jiang Zhichao said that all proprietary Chinese medicines are not panacea, and so is Angong Niuhuang Pill. He suggested that Angong Niuhuang Pill should be treated correctly, and it is not a panacea. It has a certain range of clinical use, but also dialectical use.
Jiang Zhichao reminded that it must be used under the guidance of doctors, instead of buying and using it on its own according to popular science. This is not only an incorrect understanding of fragmented popular science, but also an incorrect understanding of the use of Chinese patent medicine.
