Cautions and Contraindications

Cough is a symptom that has many causes, such as infection (bronchitis or pneumonia), pre-existing diseases (tuberculosis or emphysema), airway irritation (smoke, dust and fumes), and aspiration (upper airway secretion or gastric contents). It is very important to identify and treat the underlying cause, in addition to treating the symptom.

In cases of lung infection, cough is a beneficial protective mechanism for clearing respiratory secretions and foreign materials. Optimal treatment in these situations requires use of medicines to treat the infection and the cough (if necessary) concurrently. Suppressing the symptom without treating the cause may delay the overall recovery. Though this formula contains herbs with antibiotic effect, it is necessary to combine with additional formulas to reinforce the overall effect to treat infection.

Do not use an excessive amount of this formula, as gross overdose of any medicinal substances will inevitably contribute to unwanted reactions. In this case, Ku Xing Ren (Semen Armeniacae Amarum) and Tian Zhu Zi (Fructus Nandina) have excellent functions to stop coughing by suppressing respiratory reflex in the brain. Hence, gross overdose of these two herbs may suppress respiration and cause difficulty breathing. Other potential side effects associated with gross overdose include dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, burning sensations in the upper abdominal region, increased blood pressure, and increased respiration. Due to the potent effect of these herbs, this formula should be used with caution for pediatric or geriatric patients, and is contraindicated during pregnancy and nursing.
