Many people may experience a sore throat during the dry season.
If your throat hurts, it can interfere with your daily life, such as talking to people or eating rice.
Therefore, this time I will explain "Ryukakusan", an over-the-counter drug that can be purchased at drugstores and is expected to be effective for sore throat.



How effective is Ryukakusan? What should I take for a sore throat?

First, let's see what kind of symptoms Ryukakusan is effective for.

  • Off
  • Tan
  • Sounds caused by throat inflammation
  • Throat
  • Throat discomfort
  • Sore throat
  • Swollen throat

As mentioned above, it is a drug used to relieve the symptoms of a sore throat.
It is recommended when you have symptoms such as "sore throat, difficulty in speaking", "sore throat, difficulty swallowing saliva and food", "dry air, sore throat".



What are the side effects of Ryukakusan? In fact, it is a drug with low side effects and high safety!

Very worrying "side effects" when taking medication
I think there are many people who experience drowsiness after a period of time after taking this drug.
In addition, there are some that cannot be taken during pregnancy/breastfeeding, and some that cannot be taken.
Over-the-counter cough and common cold medicines contain antihistamines such as chlorpheniramine maleate and codeine phosphate, which can cause drowsiness.
However, the main ingredient of Ryukakusan is "herbal medicine" which contains "apricot powder", "Senega powder", "Kyonin powder" and "licorice powder".
When this herb works in a balanced manner, it is effective for conditions such as a sore throat.
Ryukakusan does not contain ingredients that cause drowsiness, so it is recommended for a wide range of people because it does not adversely affect fetuses and babies, as well as people who drive cars, students, and office workers. It is a medicine.


Ryukakusan is widely recommended for such people, but Chinese herbal medicine as a combination of crude drugs is also an established medicine.
For example, the "licorice root" contained in Ryukakusan has the side effect of pseudoaldosteronism, which causes swelling, numbness of the extremities, and increased blood pressure.
However, since the licorice content in Ryukakusan is very small, and the manufacturer has not given special warnings, there is basically nothing to worry about, but people who take many other Chinese herbal medicines may have side effects if they take too much, so it is best to consult your doctor or pharmacist .



Ryukakusan comes in two types, "medicine" and "throat lozenges (food)", with different effects. Please use them appropriately according to your sore throat.

I have already explained Ryukakusan, which is expected to be effective for sore throats, but did you know that the Ryukakusan series actually has two types, "drugs" and "throat lozenges"? ? ?

"Ryukakusan's Throat Refreshing Candy" is a throat lozenge that contains 19 kinds of herbs that are good for the throat, including peppermint, chamomile, linden and kanzo.
It relieves throat symptoms caused by overuse or dry air in the throat.
This "Ryukakusan Throat Clear" is a food product, so it can be purchased at stores such as drugstores and convenience stores that do not have a pharmacist or a registered seller.
Since it is not a drug, it is not a product claiming to have the same effect as the drug Ryukakusan.
Therefore, if you have a mild sore throat, you may want to consider Ryukakusan in the throat lozenge type.
