In humans, an immediate allergic response to an allergen may appear as either bronchial asthma unaccompanied by anaphylaxis or a severe bronchial constriction and spasm accompanied by anaphylaxis. Much experimental evidence with isolated asthmatic tissues has shown that histamine is released during the allergic reaction. Paradoxically, antihistamine treatment is ineffective in reversing bronchial asthma or anaphylaxis in a man.
The present study objective is to search for protective agents(In-Sam-Yun-Pai-San-Ga-Gam-Bang) against bronchial constriction in treating a anaphylaxis. The result from this study is as follows.
A single dose of In-Sam-Yun-Pai-San-Ga-Clam-Bang extract(3ml/kg body weight) 2 hrs prior to histamine-induced bronchial constriction test demonstrated significant protection.
Based on the above result, It Is considered that In-Sam-Yun-Pai-San-Ga-Gam-Bang can be used in bronchial asthma.
