Management of IFN-beta-induced flu-like symptoms with Chinese herbal medicine in a patient with multiple sclerosis: A case report.
CONCLUSIONS: IFNβ-1a injections will damage qi and cause blood stasis in MS patients, thereby causing various side effects and weakening the body's immune system. Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang, associated with Salvia miltiorrhiza, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Angelica dahurica and Polygonum multiflorum Thunb., is an effective prescription to ameliorate such symptoms and signs in patients with MS.
