Three-Yellow and Rhinoceros Horn Decoction

After using Longdan Xiegan Decoction to clear liver fire, if blood loss remains profuse, yet mental state, complexion, and daily activities remain normal, and the lips and tongue are red—this still falls under the category of heat forcing blood to overflow.
