Dr. Li Jingli
The main ingredients of Shuanghuanglian oral liquid include honeysuckle, forsythia, and baicalin. These traditional Chinese medicinal components all possess heat-clearing and detoxifying properties, making them effective in treating the common cold caused by exogenous wind-heat. Honeysuckle, representative of heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs, effectively reduces swelling and soothes the throat. Forsythia also clears heat and detoxifies while reducing swelling and resolving nodules, thereby assisting in the treatment of various symptoms. Baicalin clears heat and dampness, purges fire, and detoxifies, while additionally providing hemostatic and fetus-stabilizing effects. Together, these ingredients act synergistically in the body to effectively alleviate symptoms of the common cold such as fever, cough, and sore throat. Shuanghuanglian oral liquid also contains sucrose and flavoring agents as excipients, although their specific quantities are not mentioned in the reference article.
