Seijo-bofu-to, Jumi-haidoku-to and Toki-shakuyaku-san suppress rashes and incidental symptoms in acne patients.

Abstract

Seijyo-bofu-to, Jumi-haidoku-to and Toki-shakuyaku-san effectively suppressed acne rashes as well as incidental symptoms. The synergistic activities of the ingredients in the Kampo formulations might produce these effects. In contrast, distinct suppression of incidental symptoms was not found with antimicrobials. The cause of adverse effects in antimicrobials has not yet been clarified and different degrees of suppression of incidental symptoms among the Kampo formulations exist.
