Hello, Qutong Pian is a compound preparation whose main ingredients include aminopyrine, phenacetin, caffeine, and phenobarbital. It is primarily used to treat fever and mild-to-moderate pain. However, due to the presence of aminopyrine and phenacetin in this compound formulation, it carries notable adverse effects. Aminopyrine administration may cause vomiting, rash, fever, sweating, and stomatitis. Moreover, long-term use of phenacetin can lead to renal papillary necrosis, interstitial nephritis, acute renal failure, and even increase the risk of urinary tract cancer. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
