The choice of medication for treating kidney qi deficiency should be determined according to specific symptoms and individual constitution, as there is no absolutely optimal drug. Generally, commonly used Chinese patent medicines include Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, Jin Kui Shen Qi Wan, and Qi Ju Di Huang Wan.
1. Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill): Suitable for symptoms caused by kidney yin deficiency, such as soreness and weakness of the lower back and knees, tidal fever, night sweats, seminal emission, and premature ejaculation.
2. Jin Kui Shen Qi Wan (Golden Cabinet Kidney Qi Pill): Suitable for symptoms caused by kidney yang deficiency, such as cold pain in the lower back and knees, cold intolerance, cold limbs, and frequent clear urination.
3. Qi Ju Di Huang Wan (Lycium & Chrysanthemum Rehmannia Pill): Based on Liu Wei Di Huang Wan with the addition of Lycium barbarum (goji berry) and Chrysanthemum morifolium (mugwort chrysanthemum), suitable for dizziness, tinnitus, and blurred vision caused by liver and kidney yin deficiency.
Specific medication use should be conducted under the guidance of a physician.
