Xianyu capsule

Xianyu capsule is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulation used as an antiepileptic therapeutic agent. It is formulated by modifying and combining two classical TCM prescriptions: Qianzheng San (Symmetry-Restoring Powder) and Tianma Gouteng Yin (Gastrodia-Uncaria Decoction). The product contains 16 herbal ingredients, including Hedysarum Multijugum Maxim., Codonopsis Radix, Radix Salviae, Radix Bupleuri, Ziziphi Spinosae Semen, Polygala tenuifolia Willd., Rhizom Gastrodiae, Uncariae Ramulus Cumuncis, Curcumae Radix, Arisaema Cum Bile, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Acoritataninowii Rhizoma, Bombyx Batryticatus, Massa Medicata Fermentata, licorice, Typhonii Rhizoma, and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. Clinical evidence suggests it modulates neuroinflammation and glycerophospholipid metabolism—potentially by regulating AKT1, insulin (INS), and interleukin-6 (IL-6)—and that its mechanism may involve effects on gut microbiota, lipid metabolism, and neuroinflammatory pathways. It is approved and used in China for the treatment of epilepsy, where it has demonstrated sedative, anticonvulsant, wind-extinguishing, and spasmolytic effects, with more than twenty years of clinical use[1][2].
