Comparative study on ancient and modern medicines for treating constipation
In this study we compared the differences between ancient and modern Chinese medicines for treating constipation,and explored the effective drugs for treating constipation in ancient and modern times,so as to provide scientific reference for the development of such Chinese patent medicines.After establishing a database of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for treating constipation,SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used to compare the ancient and modern laxative medications,and the common drugs were sorted and analyzed.In ancient times,rhu-barb,licorice,angelica and hemp were more commonly used;in modern times,rhubarb,licorice,astragalus and ber-berine were more commonly used.There was a significant difference between ancient and modern medications(P<0.05).Through the comparative study of ancient and modern medication rules of constipation,this study has found the preferred drugs and drug pairs for the treatment of constipation,and has provided scientific reference for future clinical treatment of constipation and the development of Chinese patent medicines.
