Kyushin Capsule F: Pack Numbers, Ingredients and Handling Guide

This guide covers the Japanese product Kyushin Capsule F, 救心カプセルF. Its specific purpose is to separate 10 or 30 capsules in the box, one capsule per dose, and the three-capsule basis of the ingredient table, then explain intact-capsule and blister handling. These are label-reading facts, not a pathway for choosing a cardiac medicine yourself.

Japanese sources checked: 11 November 2026. Based on the manufacturer’s currently linked Q621N-B leaflet and the matching PMDA product record. This is not a 2026 reformulation announcement, an individual diagnosis or a first-person product review.

Look for the full name, not just “Kyushin”

Kyushin Capsule F is a Japanese Class 2 OTC medicine sold by Kyushin Pharmaceutical. It consists of pale-pink capsules in PTP blister sheets inside a paper box. The manufacturer currently lists 10-capsule and 30-capsule packs.

The usual dark-brown Kyushin pills, 救心錠剤 tablets and Capsule F are separate formulations. If your product is the small pills, use the Kyushin pills-only guide. Do not borrow another formulation’s dose or switch between or combine these medicines yourself.

These complete photos are currently linked by the manufacturer and help identify the product. They do not confirm the packaging or stock at any particular shop. Both numbers are pack quantities, not treatment courses or amounts you should finish.

Check combinations and consultation requirements before the dose

The leaflet says not to take other cardiotonic medicines

Do not take other cardiotonic medicines while taking this product. The manufacturer’s FAQ, which includes Capsule F, also advises avoiding digitalis medicines such as digoxin (ジゴキシン) and methyldigoxin (メチルジゴキシン), and other products containing senso (センソ), such as Rokushingan.

These are examples, not a complete list of safe and unsafe combinations. Do not stop, reduce or replace prescribed medicine in order to take Capsule F. Ask a doctor or pharmacist to check everything you use. An unlisted medicine or supplement is not automatically compatible.

The leaflet requires advice before use for these groups

• People receiving medical treatment.
• People who are pregnant or may be pregnant.

Consult a doctor, pharmacist or registered medicine seller in Japan before use. Also disclose breastfeeding, allergies, other health conditions, and all prescription, OTC and traditional medicines and supplements. These disclosures are additional preparation for a consultation, not an invented list of leaflet contraindications.

Children under 15 must not take it. Meeting the age requirement does not establish suitability. Symptoms that need assessment must still be addressed according to the priorities at the start of this guide.

10/30, 1 and 3 answer different questions

The following explains the label. Whether symptoms have been appropriately assessed, whether the medicine is suitable and whether combinations are acceptable must be checked before considering its directions. This is not a symptom-based self-selection flowchart.

10/30: how many in the box?

Pack capacity. It does not define a treatment course or mean that the box should be finished.

1: how many per dose?

The labelled single dose for ages 15 and over is one capsule. Under 15: do not take.

3: what is the table based on?

Ingredient amounts are given per three capsules, also the labelled daily total. Not one dose.

The manufacturer’s FAQ says the morning and evening doses may be taken before or after food. That does not change the schedule to “after breakfast, lunch and dinner.” Do not combine the three doses, add a dose because symptoms continue or shorten intervals yourself.

Eight ingredients, all stated per three capsules

The following retains the manufacturer’s per-three-capsule basis without converting it to a per-capsule table. Translations assist reading; keep the exact Japanese ingredient names when checking the product.

Senso
センソ

5 mg

Go-o
ゴオウ

4 mg

Powdered deer antler
ロクジョウ末

5 mg

Ginseng
ニンジン

25 mg

Powdered saffron

Animal bile

These are labelled crude-drug ingredient quantities, not an efficacy ranking or a basis for switching or combining products. Some ingredients are animal-derived and the shell contains gelatin, so this is not an all-plant formulation. If you have allergies or dietary restrictions, take the complete leaflet to a healthcare professional.

Capsule F lists eight ingredients; the ordinary Kyushin pills list nine. Their formulas and directions must be read separately. One Capsule F should not be thought of as “two pills put into a capsule,” and ingredient counts do not tell you which product is stronger or more suitable.

Keep the shell intact and never swallow the blister

1. Push the capsule out of the PTP sheet. Press the raised blister to release it through the foil, separating it from the foil and plastic packaging.
2. Swallow the whole capsule with water or warm water. Do not bite, open or empty it, or put its contents under the tongue. The manufacturer’s FAQ warns that chewing it or taking the contents out can cause tongue or mouth numbness.
3. Never swallow the PTP blister. The leaflet warns that accidentally swallowing the sheet can injure the lining of the oesophagus. Check that you are holding only the capsule before taking it.

If you cannot swallow the capsule, ask a doctor or pharmacist rather than opening, dissolving or otherwise changing it. Do not cut the blister into tiny single-capsule pieces to save space. See the PTP blister carrying and accidental-swallowing guide for that separate packaging risk.

The 5–6-day stopping rule is not permission to wait

Do not wait 5–6 days through palpitations that do not go away, warning signs, worsening symptoms or repeated episodes. Follow the emergency and assessment advice above. Buying a larger box, starting another pack or increasing the dose does not replace medical assessment.

Keep the medicine in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of children’s reach. Do not transfer it into another container or use it after expiry. Keep the original box, PTP sheets and leaflet for checking or taking to a consultation.

Tell the clinician when symptoms started, how long each episode lasts, whether there was chest pain or fainting, and every medicine taken and when. Bring the full product name, 救心カプセルF, rather than describing it only as “Kyushin.”
