Introduction
Brain Calming Pill (Nao Li Qing Wan) is primarily used for clearing heat and detoxifying, as well as calming the liver and extinguishing wind. It is suitable for symptoms such as hypertension, headache, and dizziness. On the other hand, the Gui Pi Wan mainly targets spleen and stomach weakness and deficiencies in both qi and blood. It is used to treat symptoms including poor appetite, fatigue, and pallor. When a patient's symptoms align with the treatment indications of both Brain Calming Pill and Gui Pi Wan, these two medications can be taken concurrently.

Under normal circumstances, Nao Li Qing Pills and Gui Pi Pills can be taken together under the guidance of a physician. If any adverse symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek timely medical consultation and undergo standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor. A detailed explanation is as follows:

The Nao Li Qing Pill primarily contains ingredients such as magnetite, haematite, concha margaritifera, processed pinellia, fried medicated leaven, achyranthes root, menthol, borneol, porcine bile, and others. It functions to subdue hyperactive liver Yang, refresh the brain, and calm the mind. It is mainly used for treating symptoms such as vertigo, tinnitus, bitter taste in the mouth, irritability, difficulty sleeping, and conditions like hyperactivity of liver Yang. The Gui Pi Pill mainly consists of codonopsis, honey-fried astragalus, honey-fried licorice, angelica, poria, polygala, sour jujube seed, longan aril, costus root, jujube, and other herbs. It has effects of invigorating Qi to fortify the spleen, nourishing blood, and calming the mind. It is used to treat symptoms such as shortness of breath with palpitations, insomnia with vivid dreams, dizziness, fatigue, weakness in the limbs, and poor appetite, as well as conditions involving deficiency of both the heart and spleen.

Both Nao Li Qing Pill and Gui Pi Pill are traditional Chinese patent medicines, and both have the effect of nourishing blood and calming the mind. From the perspective of their composition and therapeutic effects, there are no obvious contradictions or contraindications between the two. Therefore, they can generally be taken together under a doctor's supervision.

During medication, it is advisable to avoid consuming raw, cold, greasy, or hard-to-digest foods, as these may interfere with the effectiveness of the medication.
