In recent years, the number of patients who have chosen traditional Chinese medicine has gradually increased, not only traditional groups such as old men and aunts, but also many young people. The main reasons are the "four fears": I am afraid that it will be difficult to queue up in the hospital, I am afraid that modern chemical medicine will hurt the liver and kidneys, I am afraid that I will not be able to stop the drug easily after taking the drug, and I am afraid that the hospital will be too expensive.
Some patients often ask: under normal circumstances, how much is a pair of Chinese medicine?Little Chinese medicine doctor to analyze it carefully.
When ordinary patients see a doctor, they pay attention to two things: efficacy and cost。There is a delicate relationship between the two, and if you get better, it doesn't matter if it's a little expensive;If the illness does not improve, but the symptoms are relieved, the evaluation is still positive;If it is not cured, the symptoms will worsen, and even if the price of the medicine is cheap, it will not be bearable.
Whether a prescription is expensive or not, you can take the "reverse check" method to see whether there are many medicinal materials, whether the pharmacology is reasonable, and whether the efficacy is good. There are rules for the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine, and there are roughly 3 rules:
1. Simple, convenient, inexpensive and testedThe recipe is simple and clear, and it is called "simple" according to the times;Medicinal materials are easy to obtain, and they are called "convenient" according to local conditions;Affordable and efficient, universal people are called "cheap";The curative effect is certain, and it is called "test" without dragging mud and water.
2. Monarchs, ministers, assistants, and envoys:Any prescription that works must have compatibility characteristics and requirements, and there are main drugs, auxiliary drugs, blending drugs, menstrual inducing drugs, etc., rather than "one pot of cooking" and "one grasp", and it is not clear to see the primary and secondary at all.
3. Rise, fall, sink and float:Any effective prescription is the use of medicinal materials single medicine, medicine or combination, according to the situation, stimulate righteousness, support yang qi, take care of stomach qi, correct the body's bias and lesions, through the analysis of medicinal materials to know whether the prescription is right or not.
Some patients found that most of the Chinese medicine in a package are flowers and plants, rhizomes, dead leaves, fruits and branches, why do they cost hundreds of yuan at every turn, and they become "noble medicines" and cannot afford to eat. Some are for the same disease, and different Chinese medicine practitioners prescribe drugs several times worse.
How much is an ordinary pair of Chinese medicine?Moreover, the Chinese medicine prescription is not transparent, and there is no bottom in my heart.
Strictly speaking, a pair of Chinese medicine is made up of itCost, efficacy, scarcity, TCM famedecided, and there is another obvious feature of traditional Chinese medicine: most traditional Chinese medicine does not charge ** fees, and they are counted together in the prescription. Therefore, Chinese medicine has a certain floating range.
However, even if the change is large, there are 14 factors that affect the prescription**:
1. Diseases. According to the concept of modern medicine, there are diseases of the respiratory system, digestive system, endocrine system, nervous system, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system, among which the prescriptions for the respiratory system are generally cheaper, and the prescriptions for the nervous system and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems are more expensive.
2. The quantity and dosage of medicinal materials. The more flavors and grams of medicinal materials, the more expensive they are, and the more prescriptions they prescribe, the higher the total price. In recent years, there have been some large recipes with more than 30 flavors, not that they are ineffective, but that Chinese medicine has requirements for the number of medicinal materials.
As the old saying goes: when you drink traditional Chinese medicine, the prescription exceeds thirteen flavors, and the doctor's level is not good;If there are more than 18 prescriptions, the doctor will not see a doctor. may be able to enlighten modern Chinese medicine at every turn.
However, there are also some medicinal materials in the traditional prescriptions, such as potato pills, turtle nail decoction pills, Dahuo Luo pills, etc., the key is to see the curative effect.
3. Quality of medicinal materials. Wild medicinal herbs are more valuable than cultivated medicinal herbs;Medicinal herbs with a long growth cycle are also more expensive.
4. Prescription use. There are not many prescriptions for internal use, but if it is an ointment or medicinal wine, it is basically a big prescription.
5. How to take medicine. Internal medicine is cheaper, and external application and bathing prescriptions are more expensive.
6. Treatment of medicinal materials. The medicine that is prepared is much more expensive than the medicine that does not need to be prepared.
7. Whether there is any tonic in the prescription. In the prescription, ginseng, cordyceps, ejiao, deer antler, seahorse and other tonic herbs appear, which are more expensive.
8. Whether there are animals and insects. The prescription includes earth dragon, whole scorpion, leech, centipede, snake and other medicinal materials, which are relatively expensive. In the past, rare medicinal materials were not limited to sales, and some prescriptions were sky-high.
9. Regional economic level. Generally, the higher the consumption level, the higher the overall level of traditional Chinese medicine.
10. Patient's condition. If it is a child, the dosage is low, and there are few tonic drugs and strong medicines, which are cheaper;Prescriptions for the elderly and adults are usually more expensive.
11. The level of traditional Chinese medicine. Good medical treatment is to grasp the main line, the main evidence, the overall advancement, not entangled in the details, especially pay attention to "lead the whole body";Quack medicine is to prescribe more medicines, flood with water, anyway, there are always a few medicines that can treat the symptoms. However, the more drugs are prescribed, the more scattered the properties of the medicines, and the more risky they are.
Moreover, a good doctor will prescribe a few doses first, fine-tune it after it is effective, and then consolidate it for three to five days;Quack doctors are prescribing a bunch of medicines at once, even after taking them for a long time, and they don't adjust in the middle.
12. Schools of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Some are prescriptions, and the overall prescriptions are cheaper, and some are prescriptions, and the medicines are not cheap, so it can be understood why the same disease, different doctors, and prescriptions are quite different.
However, if it is the same school of Chinese medicine, the more herbs in the formula, the lower the level is usually lower.
13. The nature of the diagnosis and treatment institution. Usually the prescriptions in community or township hospitals are cheaper, followed by regular hospitals, Chinese medicine halls and private clinics**.
14. Fluctuations in medicinal materials. This is a very key factor, wheat is expensive, steamed bread is definitely not cheap, especially this year, many traditional Chinese medicines have led to many prescriptions, and Chinese patent medicine preparations are even more expensive.
Generally speaking, based on the current traditional Chinese medicine**, if a prescription is taken internally, 8-12 flavored medicines;
All are plant rhizomes, flowers and leaves, rarely more than 30 yuan;
If there are concocted medicinal materials, it will be in the range of 30-40 yuan;
There are one or two ordinary tonics, about 50-80 yuan;
If the tonic is the main body, when the number of grams is not much, ** is mostly about 100-150 yuan;
*For difficult and severe diseases, it may exceed 300 yuan;
But if a pair of drugs exceeds 500 yuan, something may be wrong and debatable.
It is hoped that through these basic introductions, patients can be given a basic understanding that many patients are exposed to ordinary prescriptions and ordinary medicinal materials, and the key is to see how Chinese medicine "arranges troops".
