Can normal people take Qingre Angong Pills?
I have always been in good health with no discomfort. However, I recently heard about Qingre Angong Pills and became curious whether it's safe for healthy individuals to take them. Qingre Angong Pills are typically used to clear heat and toxins, calm the mind, and open the sensory orifices; they are indicated for patients experiencing symptoms such as high fever and irritability. I would just like to know whether taking Qingre Angong Pills would have any adverse effects on a normally healthy individual?

It is generally not recommended for healthy individuals to take Qingre An Gong Wan arbitrarily.
Qingre An Gong Wan is a traditional Chinese medicine formulation primarily used for clearing heat and detoxifying, as well as calming the mind and relieving restlessness. It is indicated for symptoms such as high fever with irritability, unconsciousness, delirium, and coma due to stroke. The main ingredients of this medication include bezoar, musk, pearl, and cinnabar, which have potent pharmacological effects.
For healthy individuals without relevant symptoms, taking this medicine may increase unnecessary drug-related risks and could even cause adverse reactions. Long-term or improper use may burden organs such as the liver and kidneys, potentially leading to adverse effects such as allergies or poisoning. Additionally, due to the presence of animal-derived ingredients, there may be some risk of infection.
If healthy individuals do not have a clearly defined medical indication, they should avoid self-medicating with Qingre An Gong Wan. Medication use should be conducted under the guidance of a qualified physician.
