What is the difference between Danshen dripping pills and Danshen tablets

In today's society, people's living standards have been greatly improved, and medical standards have also made great progress. There are good treatment strategies for previously incurable diseases, and the most common treatment method is taking medicine. Different medicines have different therapeutic effects. Although some medicines have the same effect on the treatment of diseases, there are still other differences. Today I will introduce the differences between Danshen Drops and Danshen Tablets.

Compound Danshen Tablets and Compound Danshen Pills are both medicines for treating coronary heart disease, but their ingredients and effects are very different.

The main ingredients of compound danshen tablets are danshen, panax notoginseng and borneol. The invention is prepared by directly grinding and tableting the raw herbs. Compound Danshen Drops Pills are made into pills based on the prescription of Compound Danshen Tablets using modern scientific technology.

The active ingredient of compound danshen tablets is tanshinone, and the active ingredient of compound danshen pills is danshensu. Danshensu has better water solubility and stronger pharmacological effects than tanshinone. In addition, the bioavailability of Panax notoginseng extract in Compound Danshen Drops is twice as high as that in Compound Danshen Tablets.

Both Compound Danshen Tablets and Compound Danshen Pills contain borneol, but the dosage of borneol in Compound Danshen Tablets is relatively large, which is not suitable for many people suffering from stomach deficiency and cold syndrome. The amount of borneol in Compound Danshen Drops is relatively small, which reduces irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.

Compound Danshen Tablets are made of raw herbs ground into powder and pressed into tablets. They can only be taken orally and their efficacy is slow, so they cannot be used to relieve angina pectoris and can only be used as a routine medication for coronary heart disease. Compound Danshen Drops can be taken orally or sublingually. They can not only be used as a conventional medicine for coronary heart disease, but also as an emergency medicine to relieve angina pectoris.

Different production processes : The main ingredients of Compound Danshen Tablets are Danshen, Panax notoginseng and borneol, which are made by directly grinding the raw herbs into powder and pressing them into tablets; Compound Danshen Dropping Pills are pills refined using modern scientific technology based on the prescription of Compound Danshen Tablets.

From the analysis of the speed of onset of effect: Compound Danshen Drops Pills adopt the internationally advanced drops pill dosage form, which has high bioavailability and fast onset of effect. The drops can take effect 3-8 minutes after sublingual administration. The speed is basically equivalent to that of Quick-acting Heart-saving Pills and nitroglycerin, and can be used for first aid. However, Compound Danshen Tablets cannot be used for first aid because they are tablets with a disintegration time of more than 30 minutes.

From the perspective of toxic and side effects : both Compound Danshen Tablets and Compound Danshen Pills contain borneol, but the borneol content in Compound Danshen Tablets is relatively high, which is more irritating to the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, it is not suitable for many patients with gastrointestinal diseases, especially those with weak and cold constitutions. The borneol content in Compound Danshen Pills is relatively low, which reduces the irritation to the patient's gastrointestinal tract and is easily accepted by patients. According to preliminary clinical experimental observations, the adverse reaction rate after taking Compound Danshen Drops was only 1%. However, according to later patient feedback and literature reports, no adverse reactions have been found after taking Compound Danshen Drops.

From the perspective of treatment scope : Compound Danshen Drops have been on the market for 12 years. They not only have a good therapeutic effect on coronary heart disease and angina pectoris, but also have therapeutic and auxiliary therapeutic effects on diseases such as hyperlipidemia, kidney disease, liver disease and diabetic complications. The treatment scope of Compound Danshen Tablets is currently limited to coronary heart disease and angina pectoris.

Therefore, from the comparison and analysis of the four aspects of the drugs' effective ingredients, speed of effectiveness, toxic and side effects, and treatment range, there are great differences between Compound Danshen Pills and Compound Danshen Tablets. Finally, I would like to mention that the prices of the two are quite different. Speaking of prices, I am sure many patients can’t help but have something to say. But no matter what, when choosing medicines, patients must make sure to choose them based on their overall situation (condition, consumption).
