|
In this study estimates the daily dose of Amomi Fructus, currently unspecified in The Korean Pharmacopoeia. For analysis, we selected Donguibogam and collected the prescriptions that contain the Amomi Fructus. The prescriptions were then categorized into dosage forms, and the daily dose was calculated according to the formula. We also examined the prescriptions containing specific numbers of Amomi Fructus per dose. We thus divided a total of 214 prescriptions into 106 decoctions, 38 powders, 66 pills, and four others, and calculated the minimum, maximum, average, and general daily dose under each category. The daily dose in decoctions was minimum 1.5g, maximum 11.25g, average 5.226g, and 3.75?7.5g in general. The daily dose in powders was minimum 0.156g, maximum 22.5g, average 3.714g, and 1?6g in general. The daily dose in pills was minimum 0.027g, maximum 14.208g, average 2.619g, and 5g or less in general. The daily dose of Amomi Fructus proposed in existing literature is similar to that of the decoctions while the daily doses in powders and pills are lower than those in existing literature.
