Abstract:
We treated one rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patient with Toki-shakuyaku-san-ka-bushi. A 51-year-old woman was diagnosed as RA in another hospital and was treated with salazosulfapyridine (SASP) and methotrexate (MTX). She was living a restricted daily life while taking MTX. She had to lie down for almost 48 hours after taking MTX once a week because of general fatigue. She was also suffering from depression. After the administration of Toki-shakuyaku-san-ka-bushi, her malaise after taking MTX and her depressive-mood disappeared. Her quality of life improved measurably.
