lidan xiaoshi mixture

Lidan Xiaoshi Mixture is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound formulation used primarily for the prevention of recurrence of choledocholithiasis (common bile duct stones) after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). It is an herbal combination, typically administered as a liquid or granule, and is based on classical TCM principles aimed at promoting bile flow, dissolving gallstones, and supporting liver function. The mechanism of action involves multiple active herbal components that exert anti-inflammatory effects, regulate apoptosis pathways, and modulate oxidative stress responses. Key bioactive compounds identified in related formulations include quercetin, luteolin, and paeoniflorin. These act through multi-target interactions—most notably with interleukin-6 (IL6)—to reduce inflammation and prevent stone formation or recurrence[1][2]. The product is developed within the framework of Chinese medicine hospitals for use in hepatobiliary diseases.
