Further, the antidiabetic herbal composition of this invention is quite effective in the treatment of insulin-dependent (type I) diabetes and non-insulin-dependent (type II) diabetes, since it shows the constant therapeutic effect due to better stability of therapeutic effect among individual patients. | InventorApplicationNo. 10/050933 filed on 01/22/2002US Classes:424/725PLANT MATERIAL OR PLANT EXTRACT OF UNDETERMINED CONSTITUTION AS ACTIVE INGREDIENT (E.G., HERBAL REMEDY, HERBAL EXTRACT, POWDER, OIL, ETC.)Field of Search424/725PLANT MATERIAL OR PLANT EXTRACT OF UNDETERMINED CONSTITUTION AS ACTIVE INGREDIENT (E.G., HERBAL REMEDY, HERBAL EXTRACT, POWDER, OIL, ETC.)ExaminersPrimary: Witz, Jean C.Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassesA61K 31/60 (20060101)A61P 3/10 (20060101) A61P 3/00 (20060101) A61K 33/24 (20060101) A61K 33/32 (20060101) A61K 33/30 (20060101) A61K 31/4415 (20060101) A61K 31/506 (20060101) A61K 31/51 (20060101) Foreign Application Priority Data2001-01-22 KR |
