When Kan-baku-taiso-to (TJ-72) (0.1-0.25 g/kg/day) was given to 12 children with breath-holding spells (BHS) of the cyanotic type, the attacks were lessened starting in the second week of administration. There were no side effects even when administration was continued for more than one year. We think that the drug should be given primarily for BHS when the frequency of severe attacks is high and also to patients who did not respond to other medication.
