Scutellaria baicalensis was among seven ingredients in a combination oral herbal product. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initiated a nationwide recall of all PC-SPES in 2002 because the capsules were found to contain varying amounts of prescription drugs. Other combination formulas containing baicalin are used in Asian medicine to improve impaired brain function and to treat headaches.
