What Are Brain Thrombosis Tablets?

In cases of cerebral arterial atherosclerosis and pre-existing atherosclerotic plaques, thrombus formation may occur on the arterial intima under conditions of slow blood flow and low blood pressure—this is known as cerebral thrombosis. So, what exactly is “Nao Xue Shuan Pian” (Cerebral Thrombosis Tablets)?

What Are Cerebral Thrombosis Tablets?

Cerebral Thrombosis Tablets are prepared from a combination of herbal ingredients—including Red Peony Root (Paeonia lactiflora), Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius), Salvia Root (Salvia miltiorrhiza), Peach Kernel (Prunus persica), Chinese Angelica Root (Angelica sinensis), Artificial Calculus Bovis, Prepared Leech (Hirudo nipponica), Szechuan Lovage Rhizome (Ligusticum chuanxiong), Ground Beetle (Eupolyphaga sinensis), and Saiga Antelope Horn (Saiga tatarica)—processed using standardized extraction techniques. Among these, Safflower promotes blood circulation, regulates menstruation, resolves stasis, and alleviates pain; it is indicated for amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, retained lochia, abdominal masses (e.g., fibroids or tumors), traumatic injuries, and hemorrhoidal swelling and pain. Chinese Angelica Root nourishes the blood, activates blood circulation, regulates menstruation, relieves pain, moistens the intestines, and facilitates bowel movements; it is used to treat pallor and sallow complexion due to blood deficiency, dizziness, palpitations, menstrual irregularities, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, abdominal pain due to deficiency-cold, constipation due to intestinal dryness, and rheumatic bi-syndrome.

Cerebral Thrombosis Tablets function to invigorate blood circulation, resolve blood stasis, awaken the brain, unblock meridians, subdue hyperactive liver yang, and extinguish internal wind. They are indicated for prodromal stroke symptoms caused by blood stasis and liver yang rising—such as numbness in the limbs, dizziness, and vertigo—as well as for full-blown stroke manifestations resulting from cerebral thrombosis, including aphasia, facial deviation, and hemiplegia.

Taking the medication on an empty stomach—i.e., before meals—enhances gastrointestinal motility, helps correct pathological states, and improves drug absorption and recovery. Medications that irritate the gastric mucosa should be taken after meals. Since Cerebral Thrombosis Tablets do not cause gastric irritation, they are best administered before meals. Therefore, for optimal therapeutic efficacy, it is recommended to take Cerebral Thrombosis Tablets three times daily—before each of the three main meals—rather than at night.
