Abstract:
Oren-gedoku-to (ekisuzai) was used together with conventional dermatological administrations for patients with eczema/dermatitis showing the Jitsunetsusho tendency.
The extent of erythematous color and perspiration, the degree of dermatitis, heat and itching sensations, and condition of wetness due to scratching were compared before and after the combination therapy, and the effectiveness of the drug was assessed.
Considering the data from laboratory examination and ease of use, the usefulness of the drug was estimated. The subjects were 31 patients with atopic dermatitis (15 cases), chronic eczema (11 cases), autosensitization dermatitis (1 case), seborrheic dermatitis (2 cases), abdominal dermatitis (1 case), and nodular prurigo (1 case). The results of the analysis showed 4 cases (13%) of very useful, 16 cases (52%) of useful, 6 cases (19%) of slightly useful, and 5 cases (16%) of not useful. Heaviness for the stomach and increased levels of the serum liver enzymes were seen in one case each. Oren-gedoku-to (ekisuzai) should be used for patients with eczema/dermatitis showing the Jitsunetsusho tendency.
