• » What Are Dripping Pills?

  The Dripping Pill is a rapidly developing form of medicine, prepared by blending a herbal extract and a matrix under thermal conditions and dripping the mixture into a cooling liquid in which the droplets are insoluble. The process of pill formation results in a solid – dispersoid in a pill shape.

  Dripping pill, an increasingly popular dosage form has been acknowledged and listed in pharmaceutical textbooks used in pharmaceutical universities and colleges including but not limited to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

  Dripping pills are a revolutionary dosage form. The process of formation is similar to that of preparing a solid dispersion by melting. The process has the following features and advantages: higher bioavailability, rapid biological activity and lower adverse effects compared with conventional dosage forms such as tablets, softgels, granules, powder fills etc. Each single dose is exact and replicated due to the even distribution of the drug materials.

  The most remarkable advantages of Dripping Pill are its faster action, higher bioavailability and the fact that fewer doses needed compared with other forms of medication. These combined effects produce quick improvement in ones symptoms and condition.

  A high performance, fully automated, technologically advanced Dripping Pill Plant has been developed by Tasly Group to assure that each dripping pill complies with required quality standards. Tasly in China pioneered and is the only user of dripping Pills production technology. In cooperation with Tianjin University, Tasly Group invested a huge budget to develop the world’s first and only automatic filling plant specifically for production of dripping pills, assuring the accuracy of dose in each pack. Tasly Group has built up a GMP standard preparation workshop of over 24,000 m 2 with 3 production lines to produce dripping pills. From handling raw materials, extracting, processing and dripping to final filling and packaging; all these procedures are conducted using modern technology and under automatized management to assure the highest level of quality control.

  Tasly Group invests substantial money annually into developing a series of products and deepening the research into dripping pills to maintain its leading position in the field of technology in China.

• » How Does TriCardin Compare To Other Natural Products And Other Danshenform Products In Pakistan?

  In 1998, Tasly Group took the lead by establishing its own plantations of Danshen, Sanqi and Borneol. In addition, the first enlarged meeting of the National GAP Drafting Committee was aided financially by Tasly Group.

  Tasly Danshen Plantation Base is located in Shangluo Prefecture in Shanxi Province where the mountains are commanding, lush trees thriving and clear streams meander among white stones. Sanqi plantation is located in Guangxi in Yunnan Province in the upper reaches of the Pearl River’s highest elevation. This area has the ideal climate for Sanqi growth i.e. long summers, warm winters, rich thermal energy, soft and slightly acidic soil – the ideal ‘hometown’ for Sanqi. The long distance from traffic and crowded cities, the unpolluted environment and the abundant source of water provide an ideal environment for Sanqi’s growth. The Tasly Borneol Planation Base sits on the western border area of Hunan Province. The magical and beautiful Wuling Mountain enters the territory from the east and the site has the physical form of a plateau and the features of a mountainous area. The summers are not hot and winters not cold. It is suitable for the growth of tropical and cold belt plants, and is the optimal place to grow many natural medicinal materials including natural Borneol.

  The planting, field management, collection, harvest, and storage of drug materials are the guarantee of the quality of the Danshenform – which no one else has. The modernization and inter-nationalization of Traditional Chinese Medicine by Tasly Group based on genuine traditional Chinese drug materials and modern production has kept pace with the world.

  The tremendous clinical effects of TriCardin and the sensational rise of Tasly Group throughout China and beyond are based on solid scientific foundation and core principles. Tasly supply chain starts from the company-owned plantation sites to your finished product.

  TriCardin is the only authentic Danshenform Compound Dripping Pills medicine available in Pakistan. All other products are cheap imitations and do not pass the highest international standards that Tasly Group has developed with international regulatory authorities such as US FDA, European FDA and Chinese SFDA.

  When it comes to life saving medicines that are supposed to be ingested, one cannot compromise nor can one afford to have a medicine that is substandard. Tasly Group’s TriCardin is Pakistan’s leading Danshenform preparation enjoying market leadership and robust sales growth in China and internationally. That is why Tasly Group is #1 Chinese herbal medicine company with US GMP approved facilities. Trigen Pharma imports this product in completely finished form so that the quality remains as it is when packed in China.

  All world class herbal medicines must adhere to certain principles such as safety, definite efficiency and control of quality, must be well documented and studied and must meet GAP, GEP, GMP, GSP, GLP, and GCP. No other herbal manufacturer has such strict quality standards as outlined below.

  • GAP (Good Agricultural Practice): Tasly first adopted GAP in the development and production of Danshenform. It requires standardization of herbal plantations so that each herbal plant is the uniform in size, efficacy and quality of ingredients. Each plantation is well regulated and documented to maintain quality of soil and prevent heavy metals from entering the plantation. Keeping it green and clean is the key to the highest quality Danshen, Sanqi and Borneol herbal plant.

The implementation of GEP has put the complete process of TCM extraction, processing and production under scientific management and quality control and thus assured the expected quality and avoid potential problems such as mixing of herbs and pollution. GEP is the criteria governing an important process, which cannot be substituted by GAP or GMP.
  • GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice): GMP are the practices required in order to conform to guidelines recommended by agencies that control authorization and licensing for manufacture and sale of food, drug products, and active pharmaceutical products. These guidelines provide specific requirements that a pharmaceutical manufacturer must meet to assure that the products are of high quality and do not pose any risk to the consumer or public.
  • GSP (Good Surveillance Practice): Best practices for surveillance of health-care and medicine production facilities to ensure that highest international standards are implemented and followed.
  • GLP (Good Laboratory Practice): GLP embodies a set of principles that provides a framework within which laboratory studies are planned, performed, monitored, recorded, reported and archived. GLP helps assure regulatory authorities that the data submitted are a true reflection of the results obtained during the study and can therefore be relied upon when making risk/safety assessments.
  • GCP (Good Clinical Practice): GCP enforces tight guidelines on ethical aspects of a clinical study. High standards are required in terms of comprehensive documentation for the clinical protocol, record keeping, training, and facilities, including computers and software. Quality assurance and inspections ensure that these standards are achieved. GCP aims to ensure that the studies are scientifically authentic and that the clinical properties of the investigational product are properly documented. GCP guidelines provides assurance of the safety and efficacy of the newly developed compounds. GCP guidelines include standards on how clinical trials should be conducted, define the roles and responsibilities of clinical trial sponsors, clinical research investigators, and monitors.

Other similar combination products are fake and may be injurious to you health.

  The best way to avoid counterfeit drugs or cheap copies is to purchase medications from a reputable chemist with which you are familiar. Many companies in Pakistan market fake Danshenform Compound. They claim that it contains dripping pills but instead use low quality powder for capsuling, soft gels or granules that they claim are dripping pills. Some suggest you to open up the capsule and ingest powder, which is potentially fatal. Remember this is your health and your loved ones health. Do not compromise on quality. There is only one original Danshenform Compound, which is TriCardin and only one dripping pills formula in the world which is used by Tasly to produce TriCardin. There is no substitute and uses no other name. Only TriCardin has the highest quality standards and decades of research - the cheap fakes are low quality and have not science behind their claims. Ask for TriCardin by name and reject fake, counterfeit products in the market today. Fake products quality is suspect and their manufacturers are not certified nor do they have any quality controls.

• » Why Is TriCardin Important For High Blood Pressure Patients?

  Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood. If this pressure rises and stays high over time, it can damage the body in many ways.

  In hypertension, the structure and function of the microcirculation may be altered in at least 3 ways. First, the mechanisms regulating vasomotor tone may be abnormal, leading to enhanced vasoconstriction or reduced vasodilator responses. Second, there may be anatomic alterations to the structure of individual precapillary resistance vessels, such as an increase in their wall-to-lumen ratio. Finally, there may be changes at the level of the microvascular network, perhaps involving a reduction in the density (rarefaction) of arterioles or capillaries within a given vascular bed.

  TriCardin’s core function is to improve microcirculation and impaired microcirculation causes high blood pressure; therefore, improving microcirculation will improve blood pressure. TriCardin improves your symptoms and normalizes blood pressure readings further than traditional anti-hypertensive medicines.
