This swelling-reducing and analgesic tincture is a traditional Chinese medicine product manufactured by Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Huahong Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. It is for external use and has the effects of relaxing muscles and promoting blood circulation, reducing swelling and relieving pain. It is mainly used to treat traumatic injuries, rheumatic bone pain, boils of unknown origin, and swelling and pain from mumps.

[0003] Current research on anti-inflammatory and analgesic tinctures mainly focuses on the determination of aristolochic acid A using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, the determination of palmatine hydrochloride using high-performance liquid chromatography, and the determination of camphor and menthol content using capillary gas chromatography. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic tinctures can be applied topically to the affected area or taken orally; however, research on their transdermal absorption is very limited. Therefore, this experiment aims to study the anti-inflammatory and analgesic tincture through in vitro transdermal experiments, providing a new method for quality control. Summary of the Invention
