The invention discloses a medicinal composition for treating chronic hepatopathy. The medicinal composition is composed of astragaloside and glycyrrhizic acid, and the weight ratio of astragaloside to glycyrrhizic acid is 3-6:1. Results of tests and verification through adopting a classic animal model show that the medicinal composition can substantially reduce the collagen content of the hepatic tissue of a model rat, mitigate the hepatic fibrosis degree and the hepatic damage degree, improve the hepatic fibrosis resistance, effectively prevent the development of the hepatic fibrosis and promote the reversion of the hepatic fibrosis, the above effects are better than effects realized through singly using the above components, and the medicinal composition can be used for treating and preventing various diseases comprising chronic hepatitis, hepatic fibrosis, hepatic cirrhosis and the like.
