The pharmacological effects of FuKean Tablet(FKT) on gastrointestinal tract were studied. The results showed FKT cured the diarrhea induced by rhubarb or senna, prominently reduced the quantity of feces and delayed the time of excreting charcoal powder in the diarrhea induced by rhubarb or senna model NIH mice; FKT inhibited intestinal propelling-movement in diarrhea induced by senna mmodel NIH mice. FKT inhibited the automatic contraction and Ach induced spasmodic contraction of isolated rabbit intestine(decreased the frequency and intensity of contraction). The above results revealed that the pharmacological base of curing the urgent disease in gastrointestinal tract may be curing the diarrhea, inhibiting intestinal propelling-movement and inhibiting the contraction of intestine.
