Netizens "corrected" Lianhua Qingwei? Demystifying the mystery behind the "misunderstanding"

Recently, with the introduction of 20 articles to optimize epidemic prevention and control and the epidemic of winter influenza, cold and other diseases, Yiling Pharmaceutical's Lianhua Qingwen capsules and granules are in short supply, and the people under the "spotlight" also pay special attention to the "typos" in the Lianhua Qingwen brand and manual, "Lianhua" should be "lotus"? Should "disease" be "proof"?

In this regard, industry authorities have explained in detail, and behind these explanations actually reflect the competitive advantage
of Lianhua Qingwen.

The mystery behind "Lian" and "Certificate"

The first is the controversy over the name of Lianhua Qingwen, should it be "Lotus" Qingwen? Because in the people's concept, "lotus" is a common word, and "lianhua" is a more "weird"
word.

Is there a typo? Non also
.
To understand the "mystery", we have to start
from the common naming method of Chinese proprietary medicines, the drug category to which Lianhua Qingwen belongs.

It is reported that Lianhua Qingwei is based on the Eastern Han Dynasty Zhang Zhongjing's "Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases" Ma Xingshi Gan Tang and the Qing Dynasty Wu Jutong's "Wen Disease Article Discrimination" silver dispersion, drawing on the experience of Ming Dynasty Wu You can treat epidemic diseases with rhubarb, and at the same time with Wu Hui aromatize wet spleen and stomach, regulate immune solid qi Rhodiola rosea
.
Specifically, it is composed of forsythia, honeysuckle, burnt ephedra, fried bitter almonds, gypsum, banlan root, Mianma Guanzhong, houttuynia, menthol, patchouli, rhubarb, rhodiola, licorice thirteen flavors of
Chinese medicine.

Cui Hongsheng, director of the respiratory department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, introduced that the naming of Lianhua Qingwen is based on the naming rules of proprietary Chinese medicines, that is, "the abbreviation + function + dosage form of the two main drugs
".
Among them, "Lian" refers to forsythia and "Flower" refers to honeysuckle, which are the two main ingredients
in the drug formula.
The drug has the effect of clearing and detoxifying, venting lung heat, and the main dosage form is capsules and granules
.
, hence the name Lianhua Qingwen capsules (granules).

Another question appeared in the introduction of the indications, Lianhua Qingwen packaging box and instructions show that "used to treat influenza is a heat poisonous attack lung certificate", some people questioned whether the "certificate" here should be "symptoms"?

In this regard, Director Cui Hongsheng explained that the "evidence" and "disease" in Chinese medicine have different connotations
.
Symptoms are symptoms, which are the external manifestations of the body's response to the disease, and also the subjective feeling of physical discomfort, such as fever, headache, cough, fatigue, etc
.
Evidence refers to the syndrome, which is a general description of the etiology and pathogenesis of a certain stage of the disease through looking, smelling, asking and cutting in the process of disease development, such as spleen and stomach weakness, qi and blood deficiency, qi stasis and so on
.

"Every symptom will include many symptoms, symptoms than symptoms can better reflect the essence of the disease, TCM in the process of identification and treatment in the process of judging the characteristics of the disease, can make accurate treatment, rather than headaches, foot pain", Cui Hongsheng said, "Chinese medicine culture is broad and profound, only by understanding it, can we understand its wisdom, from this point of view, the spread of Chinese medicine culture is imperative"
.

The "Tenth Five-Year" national planning textbook for general higher education published by Shanghai Science and Technology Press, "Internal Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine", has a special section on
"evidence" and "symptoms".
The author of the book believes that "symptom" refers to symptoms and is only explained as a clinical manifestation of the disease; "Evidence" refers to the syndrome, which is evidence obtained from the analysis, synthesis and induction of several complex symptoms (including pulse, tongue, etc
.
).

You can see that the main treatment column of Lianhua Qingwen function, followed by "used to treat influenza is a heat poisonous attack lung certificate" is followed by "symptoms: fever or high fever, chills.
.
.
"

Lianhua Qingwen closely follows "certificate" and "symptom" in the packaging box and instructions, and has a strict understanding
of the distinction between the two words.

The strength behind Lianhua Qingwei's "correction"

After the whole people "corrected" and fermented Lianhua Qingwen, the answers to questions from authoritative figures also contributed to the popularization of traditional Chinese medicine to a certain extent
.
Behind the "error correction" of the whole people, it actually reflects the significant increase in the popularity of Lianhua Qingwei, and the product has been "household name", so it will be discussed under the "magnifying glass
".

According to the data, Lianhua Qingwen capsules have been recommended more than 30 times at the national level since they entered the market in 2003, and on April 12, 2020, the State Medical Products Administration approved Lianhua Qingwen capsules/granules to add new indications of "new coronavirus pneumonia light and ordinary type" on the basis of the original approved indications
.

On March 15, 2022, the official website of the National Health Commission released the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Diagnosis and Treatment Plan for Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (Trial Version 9), and Lianhua Qingwen capsules/granules were recommended for the prevention and treatment
of light and ordinary types in the medical observation period.

On November 5, the National Health Commission stressed at a press conference that "the new crown currently also has antiviral drugs, so it is more important to be active in the treatment of the new crown, especially the elderly with underlying diseases should intervene early to avoid deterioration of the condition, including antiviral therapy, oxygen therapy, traditional Chinese medicine and other comprehensive treatments
.
" ”

On November 11, the Comprehensive Group of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council issued the Notice on Further Optimizing the Prevention and Control Measures for the New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic and Scientifically and Accurately Doing a Good Job in Prevention and Control.

The notice "Article 13 Measures" clearly states: "Accelerate the reserve
of drugs related to the treatment of new coronary pneumonia.
" Keep supplies in stock to meet the medication needs of patients, especially those at high risk of severe disease and the treatment of elderly patients
.
”

While the outbreak of the new crown has spread in many places, the arrival of winter has also greatly increased
the risk of colds and flu.

Lianhua Qingwen can treat different diseases together, which has been recommended by China's "Diagnosis and Treatment Plan for Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia" (trial version 4 to 9), and has been widely used in the treatment of colds, influenza and other external diseases before the epidemic, the mechanism of action is for fever, cough, phlegm sticky can not cough out, sore throat, fatigue, muscle aches and other such external fever syndrome, can be adjusted as a whole, multiple targets synergistically play anti-inflammatory, anti-virus, cough and asthma, enhance the
body's immunity.
Therefore, as long as the symptoms are the same, whether it is new crown pneumonia, colds, or flu, Lianhua Qingwen can be used for treatment
.
It should be reminded that when symptoms are not relieved or other discomfort occurs, you should go to the hospital in time
.
