Description
Kobayashi Dasmock b, 80 tablets
Overview
Dasmock (ダスモック) is a Japanese class 2 over-the-counter Kampo medicine from Kobayashi Pharmaceutical. Its single active is Seihaito extract (清肺湯), a classical formula drawn from sixteen crude drugs, and its approved use is the cough and the thick phlegm that will not come up — the kind that follows a long winter, a smoking habit, or bronchitis.
The previous version of this page sold it as a dietary supplement for "bronchial cleansing" and listed twenty herbs that are not the formula. That was the largest factual error in this batch. Below is what Kobayashi actually declares.

Who Is This For?
- Adults with a cough that has settled into thick phlegm rather than a fresh cold
- People with a smoking habit who notice morning phlegm — Kobayashi's own positioning for this product
- Anyone who has been prescribed Seihaito in Japan and wants the OTC tablet form
- Not a cold remedy, not a cough syrup, and not something to take alongside another Kampo formula without advice
- Age 15 and over for the adult dose; the Japanese insert carries a reduced dose for younger children, which we do not reproduce here
How to Use
- Take the tablets before a meal or between meals, on a relatively empty stomach — the usual timing for Kampo.
- Adults 15 and over: swallow the number of tablets printed on the pack with water or warm water.
- Keep the same times each day rather than taking them only when the cough is loud.
- Give it the period the insert allows before judging it; Kampo formulas are not fast-acting.
- Stop and see a doctor if the cough worsens, if you develop a fever, or if phlegm changes colour.
Frequency: Twice or three times a day as printed on the pack; 80 tablets is 8 days at the adult dose.

Cautions
- This is a Japanese over-the-counter medicine, not a cosmetic or a supplement. The box and the package insert are in Japanese only. It has not been assessed by the FDA, EMA, MHRA or any regulator outside Japan, and many countries restrict or prohibit the personal import of medicines. Check your own country's rules before you order — a parcel stopped by customs cannot be refunded.
- This is a Kampo medicine, not a herbal supplement. Do not take it alongside another Kampo formula, or with a prescribed medicine, without asking a doctor or pharmacist.
- The formula contains licorice (kanzo). Long or repeated courses of licorice-containing Kampo can cause pseudoaldosteronism — swelling, raised blood pressure, muscle weakness. Do not take it continuously beyond the period on the insert.
- Not for anyone with a known allergy to any of the sixteen crude drugs listed above.
- If you are pregnant, may be pregnant, breastfeeding, under treatment, or already taking other medicines, ask a doctor or pharmacist before use.
- A cough with fever, blood, breathlessness or weight loss is not a Kampo question. See a doctor.
- Stop use and seek advice if a rash, redness, swelling, itching or any other reaction appears.
- Read the Japanese package insert before use and follow the dose printed on it. If symptoms do not improve within the period stated on the pack, stop and see a doctor or pharmacist.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep out of reach of children.

FAQ
Is Dasmock a supplement?
No, and this is the correction that mattered most on this page. It is a class 2 Japanese OTC Kampo medicine whose active is Seihaito extract. The previous version of this listing described it as a dietary supplement and printed a twenty-herb list that is not Kobayashi's formula. The sixteen crude drugs and their weights are now given above, from the maker's own declaration.
What is Seihaito for?
Its approved Japanese indication is cough and phlegm that is thick and difficult to bring up, and bronchitis. It is the formula a Japanese pharmacist reaches for when the phlegm has outstayed the cold.
Is it a smoking cure?
No. Kobayashi markets Dasmock to people with a smoking habit because that is who tends to have persistent phlegm, but the medicine treats the phlegm, not the habit, and nothing here helps you stop.
How long does one box last?
Eight days. The adult dose is 10 tablets a day and the box holds 80. That arithmetic was missing from the previous page, which is a problem when someone is deciding how many to buy.
Why does the card mention licorice separately?
Because it is the one ingredient in this formula with a well-described risk on long use. Licorice-containing Kampo taken continuously can raise blood pressure and cause swelling and muscle weakness. It is worth knowing before a second box.
