A Case of Rapid Successfully Treated Hypertension with Chotosan under the Treatment of Tinnitus / 日本東洋医学雑誌

ABSTRACT

The case was a 70-years-old man whose chief complaint was tinnitus. After the administration of chotosan, his tinnitus was improved in 10 months. In addition, his headache, which had not been his main complaint, also disappeared. However, hypertension, which had not been reported in his history, was newly observed, when his chotosan dosage was reduced. After the usual dosage of chotosan was prescribed again, his blood pressure promptly decreased from the day that the administration started. Chotosan can improve tinnitus, especially in elderly people. Furthermore, this case suggested that chotosan is potentially useful as a primary medication in mild hypertension, when there are no severe coexisting illnesses. And, it may exhibit its anti-hypertensive effects quite rapidly.
