Summary:OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety and effectiveness of Dengzhanxixin injection (DZI) extracted from Dengzhanxixin (Herba Erigerontis Breviscapi) and identify its potential risks. METHODS: A series of studies were conducted on the production process, quality standards, and pharmacology. Postmarketing clinical studies and literature reviews including adverse reactions (ADR) ,adverse events (ADE), case analysis and sys- tematic reviews were also conducted. Data from the hospital information system and spontaneous reporting system were analyzed.RESULTS: The acute toxicity test indicated that the Lethal Dose .50 test ( LD 50 ) dosage was 250 times more than the clinical maximum daily dosage (6 mg/kg). In long-term toxicity tests, rats experi-enced renal tubular damage at 480 mg/kg. However, the dose of 120 mg/kg is safe and non-toxic, which is 40 times above the clinical daily maximum. Beagles had increased serum creatinine at 160 mg/kg. In a prospective study, 15 962 cases experienced 16 ADR/ADE. The rate of ADR/ADE was 0.1002%. ADR symptoms included rash (16.00%), chills (16.00%), and fever (16.00%). CONCLUSION: There is significant evidence that DZI is safe and effective in a clinical setting.
