qishen capsule

Qishen capsule is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formulation primarily used for the treatment of cardiovascular conditions such as atherosclerosis, chest pain (angina pectoris), and dyslipidemia, particularly those characterized by the "Qi deficiency and blood stasis" syndrome in TCM theory. Developed as a hospital preparation by the Department of Pharmacy at Anzhen Hospital of Capital Medical University, it is typically composed of herbal extracts including *Astragalus membranaceus* (Huangqi), *Salvia miltiorrhiza* (Danshen), *Panax notoginseng* (Sanqi), and *Dalbergia odorifera* (Jiangxiang). The capsule is designed to tonify Qi, promote blood circulation, and resolve stasis. Clinical research has demonstrated its potential to reduce systemic inflammation (lowering markers like hs-CRP and IL-6), improve vascular endothelial function, and modulate lipid metabolism, often when used as an adjunct to statin therapy.
