What are the identification methods of Wangbuliuxing tablets?

I don’t know if it’s because the current diet and living environment are very different from before or for other reasons, but now more and more pregnant women are experiencing lack of milk after giving birth. The best way to treat insufficient milk is to take Fenugreek tablets. However, because it is the only lactation-inducing product for postpartum women approved by my country's Food and Drug Administration, many unscrupulous manufacturers will commit fraud. Therefore, you must pay attention to learning how to distinguish the authenticity of it.

Although there are different methods of lactation such as massage, the fastest way to induce lactation is to let the mother take Wangbuliuxing tablets. It does not contain any toxic side effects and will not have any effect on the child. It is a labor-inducing drug that mothers can use with confidence. The specific identification method is:

(1) The powder of this product is light gray-brown. The epidermal cells of the seed coat are reddish brown or yellowish brown, polygonal or oblong polygonal in surface view, 50-120 μm in diameter, with thickened anticlimax walls, and star-shaped or deeply wavy curves. The epidermal cells within the seed coat are light yellow-brown, square, rectangular or polygonal in surface view, with dense, bead-like thickening of the pericytes and a reticular thickening texture visible on the surface. The endosperm cells are polygonal, square or rectangular, and the cell cavity is filled with starch granules and aleurone granules. Cotyledon cells contain fatty oil droplets.

(2) Take 1.5 g of the powder of this product, add 20 ml of methanol, heat and reflux for 30 minutes, cool, filter, evaporate the filtrate to dryness, add 2 ml of methanol to dissolve the residue, and use it as the test solution. Take another 1.5 g of Vaccaria segetalis as a reference medicinal material and prepare a reference medicinal material solution in the same manner. According to the thin layer chromatography method (Appendix Ⅵ B), 10 μl of each of the above two solutions were taken and spotted on the same silica gel G thin layer plate, and the lower layer solution of chloroform-methanol-water (15:7:2) was used as the developing agent. The plate was developed, taken out, dried, and sprayed with modified potassium bismuth iodide test solution. In the chromatogram of the test sample, the same orange-red spot appears at the corresponding position in the chromatogram of the control medicinal material.

To sum up, you should have a certain understanding of the identification methods of Wangbuliuxing tablets. I believe that with this knowledge, you don’t have to worry about buying fake products. However, it is still recommended that you go to a regular large pharmacy to buy it. Not only will you not buy fakes, but the price will not be much different from that of other small pharmacies.
