Overview

Jitai is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formulation primarily used in China for the treatment of opioid withdrawal symptoms and the prevention of relapse in heroin-dependent individuals. It is composed of approximately 15 herbal ingredients, including *Corydalis yanhusuo*, *Salvia miltiorrhiza*, *Panax ginseng*, and *Angelica sinensis*. The formulation is designed to alleviate physical withdrawal symptoms, reduce psychological cravings, and restore physiological balance post-detoxification. Clinical studies, often led by institutions like the Shanghai Mental Health Center, have evaluated its efficacy both as a monotherapy and in combination with psychosocial interventions. Its mechanism is complex and multi-targeted, involving the modulation of the endogenous opioid system, dopaminergic neurotransmission, and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Jitai is regulated as a pharmaceutical product in China and is typically administered orally in tablet or capsule form.
