What is Gardenia jasminoides

Gardenia jasminoides is a kind of liver-protecting and bile-protecting Chinese patent medicine, the main ingredients of which are Yin Chen, Gardenia jasminoides and Scutellaria baicalensis, with the function of protecting liver cells, improving bilirubin metabolism and promoting bilirubin excretion. Especially for the direct bilirubin elevation caused by cholestasis, it has the effect of reducing jaundice and transaminases. Newborns with special family history and diarrhea in the first week of life should be used with caution because their gastrointestinal system is weak and may cause accelerated gastrointestinal motility, resulting in vomiting and other symptoms. Please refer to the doctor’s consultation for the specific medication.
