Abstract: Objective To study antitussive, expectorant and antiasthmatic actions of Qiguanye pill. Methods Histamine was used to induce tracheaspasm in whole body and Guinea pig's isolated trachea test was used to observe the antiasthmatic action Of Qiguanye pill. Phenol red test was used to observe its expectorant action in mice. The cough of animal was induced by ammonia water to trachea tract. Results Qiguanye pill could obviously prolong the incubation period of asthma produced by histamine and also could markedly reduce the contraction amplitude, induced by histamine and acetylcholine of isolated trachea of Guinea pig. The contraction amplitudes were reduced. It could markedly increase excretion of phenol red in the trachial cavity of mice and could obviously reduce cough times of felines and mice. Conclusion Qiguanye pill has good antitussive,expectorant and antiasthmatic actions.
