    Author: Li Y, Zhang J.
    Journal: Zhongguo Zhong Yao Za Zhi; 2011 Jul; 36(14):1905-9. PubMed ID: 22016957.
    Abstract:
    Compared to oral administrations, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) injections act more rapidly and stronger, which is good for the treatment of acute or complicated diseases and makes up for the deficiencies of the oral ways. As an innovative dosage form which combines the modern pharmaceutical technology with the TCM, it represents the spirit of improvement and enhancement. With the expansion of clinical applications and adverse reactions or even death caused by individual dosages, TCM injections are receiving concerns from all fields of society and facing tremendous challenges and pressures. Some even suggested the cancellation. This study discussed the background, current situation and the reasons for the occurrence of adverse reactions. Taking Houttuynia injection as an example, it introduced the principle of improvement and described in detail the ideas and methods for it, which provided some reference for the improvement and enhancement of the TCM injections and reduced the safety risks of TCM injections to minimum.
