Abstract
Clinical effects of combined use of Shouhu-san and mequitazine in 8 cases with recurrent vaginal candidiasis in obstetrics and gynecology were studied, and the following results were obtained.
Shouhu-san was orally administered to 8 patients, with recurrent vaginal candidiasis, using a daily dose of 7.5g. The duration of treatment was between 14 to 28 days. Also mequitazine was used in combination, with a daily dose of 6mg.
The clinical responses were good in all 8 and the efficacy rate was 100%. The microbiological eradication was obtained in all 8 cases of Candida albicans.
Neither subjective nor objective side effects were observed.
These results suggest that a combination of Shouhu-san and mequitazine appears to be useful of immunologic aspects against recurrent vaginal candidiasis.
