[Seishin-renshi-in therapy for patients with discomforts on the lower urinary tract]

The clinical effect of Seishin-renshi-in was studied in 18 patients with prolonged discomfort in the lower urinary tract. Seishin-renshi-in was administered orally at doses of 7.5 g, for courses ranging from 2 weeks to more than 10 weeks. Except in 4 cases in which administration was stopped because of slight side effects on the gastrointestinal tract; the overall effective ratio was 81%. Our findings suggest that Seishin-renshi-in may be useful in the control of discomforts in the lower urinary tract.
