Clinical reports have shown that the "Weikening Tablets No. 1" and "Weikening Tablets No. 2", which are composed of Zhejiang Fritillary Bulb, cuttlebone and pearl powder respectively, have achieved satisfactory results in the treatment of patients with peptic ulcer, chronic gastritis and other diseases. The endoscopic appearance of peptic ulcer and chronic gastritis is mostly redness and swelling, and according to TCM diagnosis, it is mostly a sign of excessive phlegm and heat in the body. General treatment should take into account both the symptoms and the root cause. This prescription uses Fritillaria thunbergii as the main ingredient, aiming to clear away heat and resolve phlegm, relieve depression and reduce swelling, so as to treat the root cause; the cuttlebone or pearl powder used in the prescription has the effect of antacidity and analgesia, so as to treat the symptoms.

Results: Symptoms were relieved in 27 cases. Prostatic hypertrophy is a chronic and difficult-to-treat disease that is common among middle-aged and elderly men. During the pathological development process, it is very easy to cause dysuria or acute urine retention in patients.
