Myelophil, a mixture of Astragali Radix and Salviae Radix extract, moderates toxic side effects of fluorouracil in mice

Figure 4 Survival of myelosuppressed mice. A: Beginning 2 d after 5-FU injection (0.5 g/kg, intraperitoneally), Myelophil (0.05 or 0.1 g/kg) or distilled water (control) was administered for 10 d. The number of surviving mice was monitored for 20 experimental days; B: Beginning 2 d after 5-FU injection (0.3 g/kg, intraperitoneally), Myelophil (0.05 or 0.1 g/kg) or distilled water (for naïve and control groups) was administered orally for 5 d. All mice were then forced to swim in a pool to monitor their survival time for 30 min.
