"Pure Chinese Medicine Products" Frequently Asked Questions Don't Hang on Traditional Chinese Medicines to Sell Western Medicines

The business agency reported on August 5th that following the shampoo “Overlord” containing dioxane, the two products of Zhangguang 101, which claimed 100% herbal care, were found to contain the ingredient “Minoxidil” in Singapore and Hong Kong. Both products are already in two basements. The company responded yesterday that the problematic product was not sold in mainland China. However, the reporter discovered the Zhangguang 101D Hairpin in the Guangzhou Zhangguang 101 specialty store that had the same name as the one exposed in Hong Kong, but the packaging was different.

Minoxidil is a prescription western medicine that is added to the so-called “pure herbal hair products” without consumers’ knowledge, and is a fraudulent act. The greatest danger is that when prescription medicines are taken or used, there are strict dose restrictions, as well as adaptation to diseases, as well as various adverse reactions and precautions. If people don't know it, if they accidentally over use it, it is very likely to cause harm to the body. Because of this, in these regions and countries, the local government health department decisively gave "Zhang Guang 101" a red card.

In fact, such a result is predictable. Over the years, with the government's strong support for the production of proprietary Chinese medicines, there have been more and more manufacturers, and the scale of production has also grown. Various kinds of Chinese patent medicine products have emerged as the times require. However, behind this wide-ranging attitude, there is a hidden danger. We still lack efforts in the formulation of production standards and quality control of traditional Chinese medicines and proprietary Chinese medicines. In the context of this production, a quick-motivating commercial behavior was quietly induced, that is, the illegal addition of Western medicine to Chinese medicine products. Western medicine ingredients work faster and have a significant effect. Traditional Chinese medicine ingredients are often slow in action, and due to the complexity of the ingredients, the principle of action is not clear, and there is insufficient competitiveness in terms of efficacy. Enterprises in the name of “no side effects of Chinese medicine” have quietly used the illegally added western medicine efficacy to attract consumers. This has already become a “competitive means” of many traditional Chinese medicine products.
