As a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine, Lanqin Oral Liquid comes in blue and green packaging, with the difference lying solely in the manufacturing company and batch. The medicinal effects and functions remain the same. Both contain ingredients such as Isatis root (Banlangen), Gardenia (Zhizi), and Sterculia scaphigera (Pangdahai), and have the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, relieving sore throat, and reducing swelling. Clinically, it is primarily used to treat symptoms such as dry throat, sore throat, and a burning sensation in the throat caused by acute pharyngitis or excess heat in the lungs and stomach.
Patients should consult a doctor before using Lanqin Oral Liquid to avoid self-medication that may lead to adverse physical reactions. Some individuals may experience mild diarrhea as a side effect, which typically resolves on its own after discontinuing the medication. During treatment, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods and seafood, and do not take concurrently with warming and tonifying herbal medicines. Use with caution in individuals with spleen deficiency or pregnant women.
