Tips

culture
Classic example of 中西结合药 (integrative medicine): combines TCM ingredients - 珍珠层粉 (pearl-layer powder), 野菊花 (wild chrysanthemum), plus herbal extracts - with the Western diuretic hydrochlorothiazide (氢氯噻嗪) and reserpine. Widely available OTC in China for decades; the name literally encodes its two headline ingredients ("pearl, chrysanthemum") plus its function ("lower pressure tablet").
