  • Patent number: 11331318
    Abstract: The present invention provides an agent that suppresses a decrease in arterial oxygen saturation or increases decreased arterial oxygen saturation, and that can be ingested by a relatively simple method and has excellent immediate effectivity and persistence. The agent of the invention comprises orotic acid or a salt thereof as an active ingredient, which is absorbed into the body via oral mucosa. When the agent is absorbed in the body via oral mucosa it suppresses a decrease in arterial oxygen saturation or increases decreased arterial oxygen saturation. The agent is effective for improvement or prevention of a symptom or disease related to a decrease in arterial oxygen saturation, such as exercise, alcohol drinking, a decrease in oxygen concentration in air, reduced cardiopulmonary function, and respiratory arrest, and a symptom or disease caused by hypoxia, in particular, for prevention of an increase in uric acid level.
