  • The purpose of this study is to report two patients with neutropenia caused by chemotherapy who prescribed Samul-tanggagambang. Samul-tanggagambang was prescribed three times a day to two patients with chemotherapy induced neutropenia. Complete blood cell count is measured before and after prescription. Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) was gradually increased after administration of Samul-tanggagambang to the cancer patients. Significantly, no related adverse events were found. Samul-tanggagambang has shown benefit in improving chemotherapy induced neutropenia. It is expected to be a promising treatment for improving chemotherapy induced neutropenia and more clinical research will be required for evidence based using.
