TSUMURA Goshajinkigan granules 2.5 g for urination problems

What are Goshajinkigan tablets for urination disorders?

Goshajinkigan is a traditional Eastern medicine Kampo, containing a mixture of herbal extracts. It works by suppressing the reduction of sciatic nerve conduction velocity and the oxaliplatin-induced cold hyperalgesia, providing antiallodynic effect and antinociceptive (analgesic) effect, increasing the blood flow and suppressing C-fiber activation-induced bladder overactivity. As the result, Goshajinkigan is effecfive for the treatment of leg pain, low back pain, numbness, blurred vision, pruritus, dysuria, frequent urination and edema in patients with decreased urine volume or polyuria. Goshakinkigan also improves peripheral nerve dysfunction by significantly increasing plasma levels of calcitonin gene related peptides and vasoactive intrapolypeptides-like immunereactive substances. It is also effective in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy symptoms such as limb pain, cold sensation, and numbness.
