Significant Diuretic Effects, Increasing Urinary Na, K, C1 Ion Excretion of Xialiqi
ØEffect on Urinary Output in Water-loaded Rats
Result analysis: Xialiqi Capsules had diuretic effect among low, medium and high dose groups.
The diuretic effect was stronger at 2 h, indicating that Xialiqi can realize rapid urination (P <0.05)
Xialiqi is Anti-proliferative and Pro-apoptotic to Stop the Development of Prostatic Hyperplasia
ØXialiqi Regulates the Level of Proliferation/ Apoptosis Protein in Prostate Tissue
A: Blank Control Group; B: Model Control Group; C: Xialiqi High Dose Group; D: Xialiqi Low Dose Group; E: Finasteride Group
Serum DHT levels were significantly lower in the Finasteride and Xialiqi groups than that in the model group (P <0.01), but there was no significant difference between the high dose Xialiqi and Finasteride groups (P >0.05).
Prostate DHT levels were significantly lower in the Finasteride and Xialiqi groups (P <0.01)
Xialiqi can Reduce Prostate Weight/Index and Significantly Inhibit Prostate Cell Hyperplasia
Evidence-based Study Confirmed: Xialiqi can Effectively Reduce IPSS Score and Improve Treatment Response Rate.
Trial Facility: 5 Grade III Class A hospitals including Guang’anmen Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Science
Drug Administration in Groups: Treatment Group (330 cases): Xialiqi Capsules (3 capsules/time, 3 times/day)
Control Group (110 cases): Control drug (3 capsules/time, 3 times/day) Course of treatment: 4 weeks
Significant Reduction of IPSS Score and Significant Improvement of Clinical Symptoms

Mechanism of Action |
Drug Characteristics |
Adverse Reactions |
5-α Reductase inhibitors |
Finasteride |
Reduce prostate size by lowering prostate and androgen levels in the body |
6-months continuous application is required to take effect, and symptoms recur after discontinuation of medication; Prostate volume less than 30 mL cannot be prevented and the effect on improving symptoms is poor. |
① It takes effect slowly, and it is required to take medicine for a long time, which may cause hormonal side effects such as sexual dysfunction and impotence. ② The FDA has announced on its official website that long-term use of 5-α Reductase inhibitors may increase the risk of developing high-grade prostate cancer. |
α1-Adrenal receptor antagonist |
Tamsulosin (Harnal) |
Relieve the dynamic factors of bladder outlet obstruction caused by BPH by relaxing the smooth muscles of the prostate and urethra, to improve the symptoms of obstruction |
Symptoms can be improved in a few days, but urodynamic indicators (prostate size, serum PSA level) cannot be changed, and the natural course of the disease cannot be altered. |
① The symptoms are improved without shrinking the enlarged prostate gland, that is to say, it can only treat symptoms but not the root cause. ② It may lead to cardiovascular side effects, such as postural Hypotension, dizziness and headache. |
Phosphodiesteras
|
Sildenafil |
The exact mechanism is not yet well understood |
It can significantly improve LUTS, but has no significant effect on urodynamic changes |
Facial flushing, gastroesophageal reflux, headache, and indigestion are typically common. |
