Is it effective to take Lianhua Qingwen for treating influenza A?

Influenza A refers to the Influenza A virus. Common formulations of Lianhua Qingwen include tablets, capsules, and granules. It is effective for patients infected with the Influenza A virus to take Lianhua Qingwen capsules.

Lianhua Qingwen contains multiple traditional Chinese medicinal ingredients, such as Forsythia fruit and Honeysuckle flower. The active substances in these ingredients can inhibit the Influenza A virus, directly targeting the virus and interfering with its adsorption, invasion into host cells, and replication within cells, thereby reducing damage to human cells caused by the virus. At the same time, this medication can regulate the body's immune function and enhance disease resistance. It can activate immune cells, such as macrophages and lymphocytes, improving the ability to identify and eliminate viruses, helping the body's immune system better respond to Influenza A virus infection and accelerating the recovery process.

For severe cases of Influenza A virus infection, such as persistent high fever and gradually worsening symptoms, patients should combine Lianhua Qingwen capsules with western antiviral drugs for comprehensive treatment. Additionally, patients should follow medical instructions during medication, pay attention to changes in their condition, and seek timely medical help if adverse reactions occur.
