A modified Wen‐Pi‐Tang prescription (named Fu‐Zheng‐Jiang‐Zhuo‐Tang) containing Angelicae Radix, Paeonia Radix, Polygoni Radix, Pinellia Tuber and Zuo‐Jin‐Wan instead of Aconiti Tuber, Zingiberis Rhizoma and Glycyrrhizae Radix was given to rats with renal failure, and a decrease in the blood levels of uraemic toxins was observed. This effect closely resembled that of Wen‐Pi‐Tang, but these two prescriptions showed different effects when their Rhei Rhizoma contents were exchanged.
