<b>Five Cases of Various Complaints Associated with Sinusitis in </b><b>which Reitakutsukito was Tried </b> / 日本東洋医学雑誌

ABSTRACT

Reitakutsukito, a Kampo formulation which is described in the textbook <i>Ranhitsu-Hizou</i>, has been well known as a suitable formulation for sinusitis related signs and symptoms.<br>We reported previously three cases, i.e. chronic headache, bronchial asthma and bronchial amyloidosis with sinusitis, successfully treated with this formulation. Here we report on a clinical trial of reitakutsukito for 5 cases in which the chief complaints were pre-menstrual disorder, chronic headache, anorexia, finger dysesthe sia and chronic cough accompanied with sinusitis. We attempted to make clear the <i>sho </i>for this Kampo formulation by means of administering this formulation alone, or with concomitant use of supportive formulations.
