Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the research status of the external use of medicinal materials and decoction pieces in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (volume 1), so as to provide reference for the clinical external use research of Chinese medicines. Method:The external function, usage, dosage and other information of medicinal materials and decoction pieces in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (volume 1) were analyzed and compared. Result:In the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (volume 1), there were 165 kinds of Chinese medicines that could be used externally, including 25 kinds of Chinese medicines that clearly recorded their functions for external use, such as Euphorbiae Semen, Euphorbiae Semen Pulveratum, Arisaematis Rhizoma, Arisaematis Rhizoma Preparatum, Crotonis Fructus, Crotonis Semen Pulveratum, Nardostachyos Radix et Rhizoma, Artemisiae Argyi Folium, Alumen, Stemonae Radix, Genkwa Flos, Cera Flava, Mel, Psoraleae Fructus, Gardeniae Fructus, Calomelas, Bruceae Fructus, Drynariae Rhizoma, Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix, Cuscutae Semen, Phytolaccae Radix, Meretricis Concha, Talcum, Talci Pulvis and Propolis. The amount of Chinese medicine for external use recorded in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia was mostly appropriate for external use, the amount for external use was not clear. The application method for external use focused on beating powder and applying the affected areas, decocting for fumigation and washing, simmering to paste, etc. Clinical external use was used for the treatment of eczema, tinea pedis, chapped skin and other skin diseases. Conclusion:The number of Chinese medicines recorded in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia for external use is increasing, but the function, dosage and usage of these Chinese medicines for external use still need to be improved.
