Abstract
|
|
|
|
A patients with quadriplegia and a history of pancreatectomy was administered Socheongryong-tang to reduce sputum. The patient's sputum decreased, but a sudden increase in blood sugar was observed. Ephedra is known to stimulate the sympathetic nerves to increase the blood pressure and blood sugar, but in healthy people, changes in blood sugar are not significant due to corrections by hormone regulation. However, this case suggests that ephedra can cause significant blood sugar increases in patients who undergo pancreatectomy or who have diabetes mellitus. Even though ephedra is highlighted for its usefulness in sputum reduction and in weight control, it should be carefully prescribed to patients with diabetes.
