Toad venom chán sū · 蟾酥

Secretions of Bufo bufo gargarizans or Bufo melanostictus

Nature and flavour. Pungent, warm, toxic; Heart system.

A highly toxic dried toad secretion used traditionally in minute amounts in rescue-type pills for its potent aromatic, stimulant action; never used in home preparation.

性味归经。辛,温,有毒;归心经。

毒性极强的干蟾蜍分泌物,传统以极微量入急救开窍丸散,取其辛温走窜;绝不可自行配制。

Classical category · no formulas, no dosages, no herb-drug combinations are given.
Safety. STRONGLY TOXIC. Cardiac-glycoside-like and bufotoxin effects; ingestion can cause arrhythmia, seizure or death. Strictly a practitioner-only, prepared-formula substance in minute amounts. Keep away from children. This is a hard red line, not a caution.

剧毒。含类似强心苷与蟾毒配基成分,误服可致心律失常、抽搐乃至死亡。仅限成方、医师掌握、极微量使用,远离儿童。这是硬性红线,不是一般提醒。
