In ancient times, there were also many documents recording the use of anti-drug drugs, and it was believed that the use of anti-drug drugs could complement each other and resist accumulation. For example, "The True Story of Medicine" said: "If there is a big poison outside, there must be a big poison to attack it, and it cannot be always theorized. For example, the ancient prescription induction pill, with the same dose as croton and morning glory, is the medicine for attacking accumulation; Siwutang adds ginseng and trogopterori to treat blood clots; Danxi's twenty-four flavors of Lianxin powder for treating corpse furuncle have the same dosage as Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch and Daphne genkwa, and the beauty is here. Only the scriptures of sages can be used, and you can't try to kill people. "
Compendium of Materia Medica also said: "Those who are evil use the same thing, who are overbearing, who are powerful, who use it, and who are enlightened." Emphasize that anti-drugs can be used together. As mentioned above, it is not uncommon for prescriptions to be used together at all times and in all countries.

Seaweed and licorice are used together in Confucian ventilation pills. Ventilation powder in Jingyue Quanshu is treated with Veratrum nigrum and Scrophularia, which is toxic and swollen, and the throat is unfavorable. Nowadays, it has also been reported that Gansui and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch are used to treat liver cirrhosis and nephritis edema, while Daphne genkwa, Euphorbia Euphorbia, Gansui and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch are used to treat tuberculous pleurisy, and good results have been achieved, thus affirming the viewpoint of combined use of drugs.
