Abstract
Objectives This study was conducted to report the safety of vomit-inducing treatment (Tu Fa, 吐法) by Melonis Calyx, particularly with respect to clinical features and liver and kidney functions.Methods Patients treated with Melonis Calyx powder between September 2013 and September 2014 were assessed retrospectively.Results Less than 3 grams of Melonis Calyx powder can induce mild abdominal discomfort and produce no harmful effects on liver and kidney functions.Conclusions Through this study, a vomit-inducing treatment using less than 3 grams of Melonis Calyx can be considered safe enough to be used in clinics, with a cautious approach with respect to dehydration.
