Active Ingredient TCVM Actions
Suo Quan Wan is a two-herb formula in which each herb plays a distinct and complementary role in warming and consolidating Kidney Qi:
- Yi Zhi Ren (Alpinia oxyphylla), Sharp-leaf galangal fruit: The chief herb; warms the Kidney and Spleen, consolidates Kidney Qi, and reduces urinary frequency and incontinence by strengthening the Kidney's holding function.
- Wu Yao (Lindera aggregata), Lindera root: Warms the Kidney, moves Qi, and disperses cold from the lower Jiao, supporting the Kidney's ability to consolidate and control the bladder.
Potential Drug Interactions
Suo Quan Wan contains warming and Qi-consolidating herbs (Yi Zhi Ren, Wu Yao) that may interact with certain medications. Pets on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats remains limited.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include urinary medications, hormone-modulating drugs, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions is Suo Quan Wan used for in TCVM?
Suo Quan Wan is most commonly recommended for dogs, cats, and horses with TCVM patterns of Kidney Qi deficiency with cold in the lower Jiao. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets experiencing urinary incontinence, frequent urination, or bladder control issues rooted in the Kidney's failure to consolidate and hold. It is particularly well-suited for older pets or those with chronic Kidney Qi deficiency contributing to urinary weakness. The manufacturer lists no contraindications or warnings for this formula.
How is Suo Quan Wan administered, and what are the recommended doses?
Dosing varies by species, body weight, and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation. For dogs and cats using 0.5g concentrated capsules, the general guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily. For small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, one 0.2g capsule once daily is typical. For the 90g concentrated powder, the dose for dogs and cats is approximately 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs twice daily, with the included small scoop holding approximately 0.25g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily.
How long does it take to see results with Suo Quan Wan?
Response time varies depending on the individual pet, the severity of the Kidney Qi deficiency pattern, and the format used. Many pet owners begin to notice improvements in bladder control and urinary frequency within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use. For chronic or long-standing Kidney Qi deficiency conditions, your veterinarian may recommend a longer course of treatment before evaluating results. Regular follow-up with your holistic veterinarian is recommended to monitor progress and adjust dosing as needed.
Can Suo Quan Wan be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?
Suo Quan Wan is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive Kidney support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly urinary medications or hormone-modulating drugs, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Suo Quan Wan is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. The manufacturer lists no contraindications or warnings for this formula.
