Difference of Immediate Effect between Mao-bushi-saishin-to Extract Granule and Its Extract Capsule on Allergic Nasal Obstruction Shown in Two Adults / 日本東洋医学雑誌

ABSTRACT

The author evaluated immediate effects of a single dose of Mao-bushi-saishin-to extract granules (TJ-127) and extract capsules (NC127) on allergic nasal obstruction using acoustic rhinometry in two adult male patients. In case 1, no apparent increase of right+left nasal cavity volume (NCV) was shown during a period of 95 minutes after the administration of NC127. However, an increase was noted 50 minutes after the administration of TJ-127. In case 2, NCV started increasing 15 minutes after the administration of TJ-127 and 50 minutes after the administration of NC127. The result indicates that Mao-bushi-saishin-to extract granules might take effect more quickly than extract capsules.
