본 증례보고는 갑상선 기능 저하증을 동반한 비만 환자 2명에게 반하백출천마탕(半夏白朮天麻湯加味方)을 투여하여 각각 77일, 66일 동안의 치료기간 동안 각각 6.5 kg, 4.5 kg의 체중 감 량의 효과 및 소증의 개선을 보였으며, 증례 2의 경우 갑상선 기능의 개선 또한 관찰하였다. 이와 같이 갑상선 기능 저하증의 환자에게 단독 한약치료를 시행하여 유의미한 효과를 보였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Obesity often develops to hypothyroidism patients because thyroid hormone is associated with changes in body weight, body temperature, and energy expenditure. Obesity is not only pointed out as the cause of various other diseases, but also can worsen thyroid function, so obesity treatment is essential for hypothyroidism patients. But there is lack of studies about obesity treatment for hypothyroidism patients in Korea. In this study, two obese patients who diagnosed hypothyroidism were treated by Korean medicine. We prescribed herbal medicine (Banhabakchulchunma-tang) for about 2 months. A total of 6.5 kg and 4.5 kg of weight loss were observed respectively, and there were no serious side effects. Further large-scale clinical trials are needed to evaluate the anti-obesity effect and the effect of thyroid function improvement.
