Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To discuss the irrational combined use of traditional Chinese with western medicines to provide basis for clinical safe medication. METHODS:Referring to the domestic pertinent literature together with our clinical experiences, some common and typical incompatibility between the traditional Chinese medicines and western medicines were analyzed, sorted and classified and summarized to derive the mechanism for the incompatibility. RESULTS & CONCLUSION:Irrational combined use between traditional Chinese medicines and western medicines can result in lower curative efficacy and higher toxic effect or even severe drug-induced diseases that may lead to serious consequences, therefore, great importance should be attached to this matter.
