NCIt definition : A traditional East Asian herbal medicine composed of six herbs, including Ophiopogonis
tuber, Pinelliae tuber, Glycyrrhizae radix, Zizyphi fructus, Ginseng radix, and Oryzae
semen, with potential anti-tussive activity. Maekmoondong-tang is traditionally prescribed
for respiratory symptoms to direct the qi downwards and compensate for lung-yin deficiency
or dry lung by tonifying yin and moistening the lung. Although the exact mechanisms
through which Maekmoondong-tang exerts its effects have yet to be fully elucidated,
this agent may, upon administration, improve the severity of chronic cough, reduce
airway hyper-responsiveness possibly by reducing the cough reflex and bronchodilation,
and airway inflammation possibly through anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects.;
