老外对川贝枇杷膏的最新评价

导读：目前有一种传统医药比较流行，Nin Jiom pei pa koa（念慈庵枇杷膏）其所有成份似乎均可缓解咳嗽，但是对于此产品有科学依据支撑吗？

此文标题是《咳嗽糖浆，完全是愤怒》

rage: n. 愤怒；狂暴，肆虐；情绪激动

此药含有16种成份，主要成份是蜂蜜、川贝、甘草等。

Honey, the largest-quantity ingredient, provides about 800 mg per 15-mL dose. Of all the ingredients, honey has the best evidence supporting its use for cough. A Cochrane review of clinical trials that evaluated honey for cough in children found that it was more effective than diphenhydramine or placebo but not as effective as dextromethorphan for reducing cough frequency.[3] Largely on the basis of these findings, a recent expert panel report also suggested honey as an option for cough in pediatric patients older than 1 year.[4]

蜂蜜是其最主要成分，813mg/15ml。对于咳嗽治疗，以上全部成分中蜂蜜是最有证据支持的。有个Cochrane临床试验回顾，对于儿童咳嗽，与苯海拉明or对照剂相比，蜂蜜更为有效，但不如右美沙芬。最近的专家共识对大于1岁儿童使用蜂蜜是弱推荐的。

From a traditional medicine perspective, Nin Jiom pei pa koa has all the right ingredients to help relieve cough—but from an evidence-based medicine perspective, very little scientific support exists for using this product. Two primary ingredients, honey and Chinese licorice, have some evidentiary support for relieving cough; evidence for most other ingredients is speculative at best.

从传统医学的角度来说，枇杷膏的所有成分都是为了缓解咳嗽的；从循证医学的角度来说，很少有证据支持此产品。其两大成分 -- 蜂蜜与川贝有一些证据是支持缓解咳嗽的，但其它成分还是有待进一步思考。
