Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To study the potential ris k of Chinese patent medicine for the treatment of stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),and to provide reference for the safety of clinical drug use. METHODS :Retrieved from Chinese journal full-text database ,CBM,Wanfang database and VIP ,using“stable”“Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ”“COPD” “Chinese patent medicine ”as retrieval words ,relative literatures about Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of stable COPD were retrieved ,and retrieval time limitation was from their establishment to Sept. 2019. The type and components of Chinese patent medicine were collected. The potential risk of Chinese patent medicine was analyzed in terms of the contraindications of traditional Chinese medicines ,the interaction between traditional Chinese medicines and chemical medicines ,and its effects on stable COPD with other common chronic diseases. RESULTS :Eleven related studies covering 29 kinds of Chinese patent medicines for the treatment of stable COPD were included in this study. There were several incompatibility between two Chinese patent medicines containing Aconitum carmichaelii and eleven Chinese patent medicines containing “Pinellia ternata ,Trichosanthes kirilowii , Bolbostemma paniculatum ,Ampelopsis japonica ,Bletilla striata ”as an ancient rule of traditional Chinese medicine incompatibility “Eighteen antagonisms ”and“Nineteen mutual ”inhibitors. Meanwhile ,it should be avoided that four Chinese patent medicines containing ephedra combined with β2 receptor agonists or theophylline. Moreover ,oral antibiotics and 14 kinds of Chinese patent medicine containing licorice would reduce the curative effect. In addition ,patients with stable COPD who also had hypertension , hyperlipidemia or diabetes should be careful to use Chinese patent medicines containing ingredients such as Glycyrrhiza uralensis , A. carmichaelii ,Ephedra sinica ,Citrus aurantium ,Cornus officinalis ,Fritillaria cirrhosa ,Panax ginseng (Panax notoginseng ). CONCLUSIONS:There are many potential risks (such as combined use ,compatibility)in the use of Chinese patent medicines for stable COPD. It is suggested to comprehensively evaluate the patient ’s previous medical history and medication before using Chinese patent medicines ,so as to provide scientific guide for clinical rational medication.
