Congrong Tongbian

Congrong Tongbian Oral Liquid is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) botanical formulation developed by Rongchang Pharmaceutical (Zibo) Co., Ltd. for the treatment of constipation, specifically the 'deficiency-type' constipation characterized in TCM theory. The formulation's primary active ingredient is derived from *Cistanche* (Congrong), a desert plant known for its ability to tonify kidney yang and moisten the intestines to facilitate bowel movements. It is typically administered as a 20 ml oral dose. Clinical studies have utilized it as a standard-of-care comparator for evaluating new TCM treatments for chronic constipation. Users should be monitored for potential hepatotoxicity, as prolonged use has been associated with drug-induced liver injury.
