Abstract:
Ningmitai Capsule is a classical patent medicine prepared from multiple effective ingredients of Chinese herbal medicine, with a wide range of biological activities and a significant efficacy in the treatment of urogenital diseases. Ningmitai Capsule has been widely applied in the management of urological and andrological diseases, with a particularly ideal effect on chronic prostatitis, since its first introduction nearly 20 years ago. With no obvious adverse effect on the male reproductive system, it has also been gaining a gradual application in the treatment of such diseases as urinary tract infections, diabetes, non-gonococcal urethritis, seminal vesiculitis, acute epididymitis, overactive bladder, hematuria, and semen non-liquefaction. However, the definite efficacy of Ningmitai Capsule needs to be further verified with more large-scale multi-centered randomized controlled trials, and its pharmacological mechanism remains to be further explored via more biomolecular experiments. The present article focuses on the recent advances in the application and studies of Ningmitai Capsule in the treatment of urological and andrological diseases.
