Abstract

Objective: This study reports the effects of Huanglianjiedu-tang (黃連解毒湯) granules as a treatment for transient hypertension. Methods: Four patients experienced sudden blood pressure elevation without a history of hypertension treatment. There was no specific history of disease, as confirmed by laboratory examination and image diagnosis. The patients were treated with Huanglianjiedu-tang (黃連解毒湯) granules and their blood pressure analyzed over time. Results: After treatment with Huanglianjiedu-tang granules, the mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of all patients decreased significantly. Conclusions: The study suggests that Huanglianjiedu-tang (黃連解毒湯) granules could be a primary treatment for hypertension. A well-designed study should be conducted for further evaluation of the effectiveness of the treatment.
