Yi-Tong Cheng-Zhang

Yi-Tong Cheng-Zhang is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) oral liquid preparation developed by the Shanghai Children's Medical Center Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine. It is specifically indicated for the treatment of elevated blood lead levels (lead poisoning) in pediatric patients. The formulation is designed to facilitate the excretion of lead from the body and reduce its absorption, likely through the action of herbal constituents such as *Poria cocos* and *Fructus Crataegi* (Hawthorn), which are traditionally used to promote detoxification and metabolic health. Additionally, such preparations often incorporate essential minerals like zinc and calcium to competitively inhibit lead uptake in the gastrointestinal tract. It is primarily utilized as a hospital-specific preparation (医院制剂) in China for mild to moderate lead exposure cases.
