+Author Affiliations Background: Observational studies from Asia suggest that maxingshigan–yinqiaosan may be effective in the treatment of acute H1N1 influenza. Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of oseltamivir and maxingshigan–yinqiaosan in treating uncomplicated H1N1 influenza. Design: Prospective, nonblinded, randomized, controlled trial. (ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT00935194) Setting: Eleven hospitals from 4 provinces in China. Patients: 410 young adults aged 15 to 59 years with laboratory-confirmed H1N1 influenza. Intervention: Oseltamivir, 75 mg twice daily; maxingshigan–yinqiaosan decoction (composed of 12 Chinese herbal medicines, including honey-fried Herba Ephedrae), 200 mL 4 times daily; oseltamivir plus maxingshigan–yinqiaosan; or no intervention (control). Interventions and control were given for 5 days. Measurements: Primary outcome was time to fever resolution. Secondary outcomes included symptom scores and viral shedding determined by using real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Results: Significant reductions in the estimated median time to fever resolution compared with the control group (26.0 hours [95% CI, 24.0 to 33.0 hours]) were seen with oseltamivir (34% [95% CI, 20% to 46%]; P < 0.001), maxingshigan–yinqiaosan (37% [CI, 23% to 49%]; P < 0.001), and oseltamivir plus maxingshigan–yinqiaosan (47% [CI, 35% to 56%]; P < 0.001). Time to fever resolution was reduced by 19% (CI, 0.3% to 34%; P = 0.05) with oseltamivir plus maxingshigan–yinqiaosan compared with oseltamivir. The interventions and control did not differ in terms of decrease in symptom scores (P = 0.38). Two patients who received maxingshigan–yinqiaosan reported nausea and vomiting. Limitations: Participants were young and had mild H1N1 influenza virus infection. Missing viral data precluded definitive conclusions about viral shedding. Conclusion: Oseltamivir and maxingshigan–yinqiaosan, alone and in combination, reduced time to fever resolution in patients with H1N1 influenza virus infection. These data suggest that maxingshigan–yinqiaosan may be used as an alternative treatment of H1N1 influenza virus infection.

• 1)估计不会,如果会的话人们就会用Tylenol而不会花大钱囤积Taimiflu了。2)不清楚 -医者意也- ♂ (0 bytes) () 08/25/2011 postreply 18:05:04
• 很多病人其实也就用Tylenol了,Taimiflu不少是给重病人和高危人群用的 -viewfinder- ♀ (165 bytes) () 08/25/2011 postreply 18:49:58
• “很多病人其实也就用Tylenol了”---这我倒是第一次听说,Taimiflu其实也没有什么大用了 -医者意也- ♂ (33 bytes) () 08/25/2011 postreply 19:25:50
• Taimiflu的作用是减少病毒在人体内的传播,其作用机理比较清楚了。 -viewfinder- ♀ (137 bytes) () 08/25/2011 postreply 19:46:48
