Hewei Anchang formula for overlapping stomach and bowel symptoms
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a traditional Chinese medicine formula (Hewei Anchang) for people who have both functional dyspepsia (upset stomach without clear cause) and diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome. It aims to see if the formula improves overlapping symptoms and how it works.
