[Therapeutical effect of Zhiranxiao tablets on internal hemorrhoid hemorrhage: a clinical observation in 569 cases].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the therapeutic effect of Zhiranxiao tablets derived from compound Zhiranxiao decoction, a preparation from traditional Chinese medicine, on internal hemorrhoid hemorrhage.


METHODS
The treatment group consisted of 596 patients with internal hemorrhoid hemorrhage who received oral Zhiranxiao tablets in a course of 6 d for treatment, and another 60 such patients were given a different preparation from traditional Chinese medicine, Zhining tablets, to serve as the control group. The volume of hemorrhage was recorded and scored before and after the treatment to evaluate the therapeutic effect of the tested dosage forms.


RESULTS
The scores for hemorrhage in both groups were significantly decreased after the administration of the two dosage forms, but no statistical difference was observed (P > 0.05) between the two groups.


CONCLUSIONS
Zhiranxiao tablets are also effective in the treatment of internal hemorrhoid hemorrhage.
