Can Total Glucosides of White Peony Root Capsules treat skin diseases?
Disease description:
I have had psoriasis for two years, and have tried many medications without success. A friend recommended I use Total Glucosides of Paeonia (TGP) capsules. May I ask if Total Glucosides of Paeonia capsules can treat skin diseases?

There are different views regarding the role of total glucosides of peony (TGP) capsules in the treatment of skin diseases. Generally, TGP capsules are primarily used for treating rheumatoid arthritis and have demonstrated good anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. However, recent studies have suggested that this medication may also offer certain adjunctive therapeutic benefits for some skin conditions, such as eczema and acne. It usually needs to be used in combination with other medications and cannot cure skin diseases completely.
It should be noted that TGP capsules are not specifically developed for treating skin diseases, and their efficacy and applicability may vary due to individual differences. Therefore, when using TGP capsules for skin disorders, it should be done under the guidance of a physician, and the drug's package insert should be carefully read to understand the proper usage and precautions.
Furthermore, because skin diseases vary widely in type and etiology, appropriate medications and treatment plans should be selected based on the specific condition. Blind or improper use of medications should be avoided to prevent worsening of the condition or the occurrence of adverse reactions.
