With a new selling point of "removing excess sugar," Rohto Bofu Tsusho San Tablets (Full Dose a)
have evolved into a new product that is easier to try, easier to take, and easier to continue using!
April 14, 2023
ROHTO Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, President: Masafumi Sugimoto) will be renewing its easy-to-understand herbal medicine "Wakansen" as "Rohto Bofu Tsusho San Tablets Full Dose a" for the first time in eight years. This time, in addition to the fact that it is effective against obesity by "reducing abdominal fat," the packaging will be redesigned to include a new appeal: "removing excess sugar that was not absorbed into the body" (due to its effect of improving constipation associated with obesity). In addition, to match modern lifestyles and needs, the product size options will be expanded to make it easier to try, and the number of doses will be improved from three times a day to twice a day to make it easier to take and continue taking. The renewed product will be available for sale at pharmacies, drugstores, and e-commerce sites nationwide from April 16th (Sunday).
Evolution that looks ahead to today's customers
Since 2006, our company has been selling the Kampo brand "Wakansen," based on the concept of casual Kampo medicine. We wanted to make Kampo medicine more accessible, addressing the perception that it is difficult to understand and use. At the time of its launch, we were the first pharmaceutical company to offer pouch products, meeting the need for easier trial. The name "Wakansen" derives from the idea of Japanese Kampo medicine, encompassing novelty, gentleness, and the Japanese element of "Wa" (harmony). We have poured the science of a pharmaceutical company into Kampo and herbal medicine, focusing on modern concerns and releasing products to address a variety of symptoms and needs.
There is a high level of interest in visceral fat obesity, which is a cause of metabolic syndrome, and since abdominal fat tends to accumulate with age, we have been selling the "Bofu Tsusho San Series" to customers with obesity caused by lifestyle habits since 2006. In 2015, "New Rohto Bofu Tsusho San Tablets Full Dose," which contains 5000mg (daily dose) of Bofu Tsusho San extract in a full-dose formula *1, was introduced. This time, "Rohto Bofu Tsusho San Tablets Full Dose a" has been renewed to be even easier to use and continue using, with the added appeal of "removing excess sugar *2 *3" to meet the needs of modern people.
*1: A full-dose prescription refers to a prescription that uses the maximum amount of herbal medicine based on the source of the herbal medicine prescription.
*2: Refers to sugar that was not absorbed by the body.
*3: To be excreted with stool
