治血燥大便秘結. 此方與上<a href='/formulas/yunma-hwan'>潤麻丸</a>同. 《入門》

Treats blood dryness with the stool bound. This formula is the same as the Yunma-hwan above. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Daebyeon)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The Bogam records the same five drugs twice, under the Dansim's name and the Immun's, and states plainly that they are the same formula. Keeping both is the right editorial decision for a reference work — a reader who meets either name needs to be able to find it — and the note is what prevents the duplication from misleading. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
