Abstract:
Ryoukeigomikanzoto is a Kampo formulation originally described in the text Kinkiyouryaku. This formulation has also been described as an indication for respiratory disease in some texts, because it was classified under respiratory diseases in the Kinkiyouryaku.
The authors, however, considered that indications for ryoukeigomikanzoto could be wider than previously thought. The composition of this formulation is very similar that of ryokeimikanto and ryokeijutsukanto. And we have prescribed ryokeigomikanzoto for patients with a reddish face and coldness of the legs, whose chief complaints were a reddish nose, coldness of the leg, dysuria, spioncerebellar degeneration and ringing of the ears. Moreover, we have obtained good results from the current trial. This report is intended to elucidate indications for this formulation by means of past clinical results and our own experience.
