Abstract:
As the last procedure of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) applied in clinical practice, prescription-based processing(PBP) is an important guarantee for the quality and clinical efficacy of TCM, which can not only maximize the effect of processed product, but also exert the characteristics of syndrome differentiation and treatment in TCM. However, due to various reasons, most medical institutions have no PBP business. As a result, doctors can only use the conventional decoction pieces available on the market, which also greatly limits their flexible medication, with certain impacts on the normal development of the curative effect of TCM. Therefore, the article explained the necessity of PBP from three aspects. In addition, according to Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the characte-ristics of TCM decoction pieces, the varieties suitable for PBP were summarized and proposed, and also some suggestions about developing PBP are given. The PBP is one of the characteristic techniques in TCM, with special technical requirements and profound scientific connotation. The development of PBP will not only promote the processing of TCM and ensure the clinical efficacy, but also promote the vigorous development of TCM.
