Apricot and Perilla Cough Syrup

Apricot and Perilla Cough Syrup (Xingsu Zhike Tangjiang) is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formulation developed and manufactured by Juneng Golden Key Pharmaceutical (Wuhan Juneng Jinshi Pharmaceutical). It is an approved oral liquid/syrup indicated for the symptomatic relief of cough and respiratory distress, particularly those associated with the common cold or wind-cold type coughs. The formulation typically utilizes a combination of herbal ingredients, including bitter apricot kernel (*Semen Armeniacae Amarum*) and perilla leaf (*Folium Perillae*), which are traditionally recognized in TCM for their ability to ventilate the lungs, disperse cold, and resolve phlegm. As a complex herbal mixture, it does not target a single molecular pathway but rather functions through the synergistic effects of its constituent phytochemicals to alleviate respiratory symptoms.
