Sangxingzhike

Sangxingzhike is a traditional Chinese medicine formulation, most commonly available as "Sangxingzhike Granules." It is used for the treatment of cough, particularly after pulmonary infection caused by dryness pathogens. The formula typically contains a combination of herbal ingredients such as mulberry leaf (Sangye), apricot kernel (Xingren), and other botanicals known in Chinese medicine to moisten the lungs and relieve cough. Its mechanism of action is based on traditional principles—moistening lung dryness, clearing heat, and stopping cough—rather than targeting specific molecular pathways. Clinical studies are ongoing to evaluate its efficacy in post-infectious cough[4].
