The honey ring in the honey ring powder is a kind of mushroom - honey ring fungus, also known as hazel mushroom, honey ring fungus, has a protective effect on cell oxidative damage, the mechanism may be related to improve the cell scavenging oxygen free radicals, and has a protective effect on cerebral ischemia, so it is often used to treat neurasthenia, vertigo syndrome, high blood pressure and other causes of vertigo, insomnia, etc.
4. What are the indications?
It is mainly used for coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, ischemic cerebral blood disease, and can improve heart and cerebral ischemic symptoms.
5. What disease symptoms can be used?
1. Cerebrovascular headache, dizziness, cerebral infarction, Alzheimer's disease, etc.;
2. Cardiovascular myocardial infarction, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, etc.;
3. Diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, etc. complicated by diabetes;
4. Neurasthenia, insomnia, tinnitus, hearing loss, blurred vision, fundus vascular lesions, etc.
It can be used as long as it is related to a disorder of microcirculation.
6. Dosage
Take orally. Take 10 ml 3 times a day, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

8. What is the pharmacological effect?
Dilate coronary arteries and cerebrovascular vessels. Increase coronary blood flow and cerebral blood flow, and improve microcirculation of heart and brain tissue. It can inhibit platelet aggregation and antithrombosis.
9. What are the common diseases of microcirculatory disorders?
1. High blood pressure. The pathological changes are constriction and spasm of arteries, increased blood pressure due to increased vascular resistance, and blood rheological changes such as cell aggregation, increased blood viscosity, and slow blood flow.
2. Diabetes. The diameter of the microvascular tube is uneven, the loop is blurred, the deformity increases, and the appearance of microhemangiomas and small white microembolism; Its red blood cells aggregate, blood flow slows down, stagnates;
3. Headache and dizziness. Cerebral circulatory disorders, microvascular dilation and bending, decreased number of capillaries, aggregation of red blood cells, slow or even stagnant blood flow; Microvascular occlusion, perivascular edema, hemorrhage, etc., can cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, so that brain cells can not get enough oxygen and nutrients, and at the same time, the metabolites of cells cannot be fully discharged due to abnormal blood flow, resulting in a series of brain dysfunctions such as headache and dizziness;
4. Rheumatism. The main manifestations are local redness, swelling, heat and pain in the joints. There are obvious pathological changes in microcirculation, such as capillary edema and destruction of vascular basement membrane;
5. Coronary heart disease. Abnormal microcirculation leads to insufficient oxygen supply to the myocardium, which can lead to angina, myocardial infarction and even sudden death;
6. Fatigue. After exercise, the human body will produce a large amount of metabolites such as lactic acid and creatinine, which will stimulate the body and produce a feeling of soreness, swelling and pain. Microcirculation increases local blood flow, transports fresh oxygen and nutrients to tissues, and excretes metabolic wastes from the body, relieving fatigue.
10. What are the clinical applications and drug combinations?
Depending on the disease, different combinations are used:
1. It can be used for the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases: cerebral infarction, cerebral arteriosclerosis, headache and dizziness, memory loss, transient ischemic attack, vertebrobasilar insufficiency, and cerebral hemorrhage recovery
Cerebral infarction: Ginkgo biloba honey ring oral solution + antithrombotic drug (aspirin)/lipid-lowering drug (statin)
2. It can be used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases: coronary heart disease, angina, myocardial infarction, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, pulmonary heart disease and other diseases
Coronary heart disease: Ginkgo biloba honey ring oral solution + nitrates (nitroglycerin, heartache) / antithrombotic drugs / lipid-lowering drugs
High blood pressure: Ginkgo biloba honey ring oral solution + antihypertensive drugs (e.g., dipine, thiazide, lol, etc.)
Hyperlipidemia: Ginkgo biloba honey ring oral solution + lipid-lowering drugs (e.g., statins)
3. It can be used for the prevention and treatment of diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy and diabetic peripheral neuropathy
Complications of diabetes: Ginkgo biloba honey ring oral solution + hypoglycemic drugs (insulin preparations, acarbose, metformin, etc.)
4. Dilate blood vessels, reduce blood viscosity, and increase blood supply to blood vessels
Antithrombosis: Ginkgo biloba honey ring oral solution + antithrombotic drugs
5. Other microcirculatory disorders: neurasthenia, insomnia, vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, blurred vision, numbness and cold limbs.
11. So is it available for diabetics?
The honey ring in the ingredients is a kind of mushroom - honey ring fungus, ginkgo honey ring oral solution is sugar-free dosage form, sweet, the name has honey, but it does not contain sugar, does not contain honey (the sweetness of the oral liquid comes from the sweetener sugar substitute aspartame, which contains fewer calories than general sucrose, and is widely used as a substitute for sucrose, which can increase the compliance of patients to take and taste better), and diabetic patients can also take it with confidence.
