[Current quality research situation of precious Chinese patent medicine].
Along with the development of modern medicinal manufacture and pharmaceutical analysis technology, the precious Chinese patent medicine is also growing quickly. However, after the investigation of the dosage-forms and relative government standards, we find that the precious Chinese patent medicine needs more variety in administration and more precise and full-scale analysis standards based on the chemical materials because of the contradiction between the "global thoughts" logic in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory and the "local study" of modern pharmaceutical analysis technology. Currently rising theories, metabonomics and coordination chemistry of TCM, with the superiority of entirety, can not only fulfill the requirement for " local study" but also accord with the "global thoughts" logic in TCM theory. They will be the reasonable guide for the development of the precious Chinese patent medicine.
