Frequently Asked Questions

What is a TCM herbal formula builder?

A TCM herbal formula builder is a digital tool that helps practitioners construct, analyze, and document Chinese herbal prescriptions. TCM Clinical Pro's Formula Builder allows you to select individual herbs, set dosages, check for safety interactions, and save formulas linked to patient diagnoses, all in one clinical workflow.

Does the system generate herbal formulas automatically?

Yes. When you run a diagnosis, the system automatically generates a complete herbal formula recommendation based on the identified TCM pattern, including the classical base formula, individual herb functions, dosages, preparation method, and suggested modifications for the patient's specific presentation.

How does the herb-drug interaction checker work?

The Formula Builder includes a real-time safety analysis that flags known herb-drug interactions, contraindications for pregnancy and specific conditions, dosage concerns, and toxicity warnings. It cross-references the formula against the patient's current medications entered in their profile.

Which classical formulas are included?

The system covers the major classical formulas from the Shang Han Lun, Jin Gui Yao Lue, and Wen Bing literature, including Si Wu Tang, Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang, Xiao Chai Hu Tang, Long Dan Xie Gan Tang, and hundreds more.

Can I customize the formula for my patient?

Absolutely. You can add, remove, or adjust any herb and dosage in the formula canvas. The system then re-analyzes the modified formula to update the safety and clinical assessment. All custom formulas are saved to the patient's record.

Is the herbal formula builder available on all plans?

Yes. The Formula Builder is included on both the Individual and Clinic plans. There is no separate add-on required.
