Article Synopsis
- Shosaiko-to (SHO), a traditional Chinese medicine, has shown effectiveness in treating gastric ulcers in addition to its known uses for gastritis and hepatitis, despite the lack of detailed pharmacological studies.
- In a rat study, SHO significantly reduced the development of gastric lesions caused by various stimuli, such as ethanol and aspirin, with effects observed in a dose-dependent manner.
- The findings suggest that SHO protects the gastric mucosa and inhibits gastric acid secretion, positioning it as a potential alternative to existing treatments like sucralfate and cimetidine.
