Dong Quai Overview
Dong quai (Angelica sinensis) is a plant native to Asia and has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. It is often referred to as "female ginseng" and is used to treat a variety of health conditions, particularly those related to the female reproductive system. It is also claimed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties as well as an ability to improve blood circulation. When utilized for dietary supplements, the root of Dong quai is used.
Benzhydrocodone, Acetaminophen Overview
-
The combination of benzhydrocodone and acetaminophen is used to relieve acute pain (pain that begins suddenly, has a specific cause, and is expected to go away when the cause of the pain is healed) that cannot be relieved by other non-opioid pain medications. Benzhydrocodone is in a class of medications called opiate (narcotic) analgesics. It works by changing the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain. Acetaminophen is in a class of medications called analgesics (pain relievers) and antipyretics (fever reducers). When acetaminophen is used in combination with benzhydrocodone to treat pain, it works by changing the way the body senses pain.
