As a medicine mainly aimed at infants (including newborns), Wangshibao Akamaru contains many toxic ingredients:
This medicine contains cinnabar. The chemical composition of cinnabar is mercury sulfide, which can accumulate in the body, causing chronic mercury poisoning and damaging the nervous system, kidney and reproductive system. See the article "Angong Niuhuang Pill".
This medicine contains rhubarb for relaxing bowels. Anthraquinones in rhubarb have hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity, which can cause damage to liver and kidney. See the article "Paidu Yangyan Capsule".
This medicine contains croton oil, a laxative. Croton is the seed of croton belonging to Euphorbiaceae. Croton has been considered highly toxic since ancient times. The toxic component of croton is mainly its fatty oil, and croton paste still contains 18.0% ~ 20.0% fatty oil (China Pharmacopoeia). Oral administration of croton oil +0 drops can cause acute poisoning symptoms, and 20 drops of croton oil can be fatal [1 g]. Croton oil has weak carcinogenicity, which can enhance the carcinogenicity of some carcinogens, leading to or promoting gastric tumor, skin tumor, cervical cancer, esophageal cancer and so on. [1][2][3]. Croton oil can stimulate the kidney, and can produce hematuria, urinary incontinence and so on. [1]. Animal experiments show that low dose croton extract can cause pathological changes in lung, heart, liver, kidney, testis, brain and other organs [4].
The medicine contains Rhizoma Arisaematis. Araceae is the tuber of Araceae, such as Araceae, Araceae, Araceae and so on. Rhizoma arisaematis has been considered toxic since ancient times and is generally used as medicine. After processing, its toxicity can be reduced or eliminated. However, the drugs prepared according to the method recorded in China Pharmacopoeia still show some toxic reactions, which may be related to the residual amount of alum in processed products [5].
The medicine contains Coptidis Rhizoma. Coptis chinensis contains berberine, which can cause hemolysis of newborns in pregnant women and acute hemolysis and severe jaundice in children [6][7][8]. It is forbidden in Singapore and the United States.
