Effectiveness of Syouhangekabukuryoto in Post Nasal Dripping / 日本東洋医学雑誌

Shohangekabukuryoto, an herbal mixture, was administered to 15 patients with postnasal drip. Ten patients responded to this therapy and 5 failed to respond to it. Subjective symptoms and objective findings were analyzed and compared between the responders and nonresponders. Nausea was not observed in any patient. In the responders, watery rhinorrhea and <I>shinsuion</I> was often noted. Patients showing viscous rhinorrhea without <I>shinsuion</I> were considered nonresponders. These results suggest that shohangekabukuryoto is an herbal mixture that may be used for treating patients with postnasal watery rhinorrhea accompanied by <I>shinsuion</I>, despite the absence of evident nausea.
