Description

A pharmaceutical composition for treating respiratory diseases in summer

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicines, and relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating respiratory diseases in summer. In particular, the invention relates to a summer tea powder medicine composition for treating or preventing respiratory diseases. Specifically, the summer tea powder pharmaceutical composition is a summer tea bag. The invention also relates to a quality control method and pharmaceutical application of the pharmaceutical composition.

Background

The non-bacterial inflammation is the cause of pharyngitis, has the clinical characteristics of stubborn symptoms, long lingering and difficult-to-cure course and the like, and can directly influence the life and work of people. Western medicine treatment is widely applied in clinic, but mainly takes antibiotic medicines, sometimes the curative effect is not obvious, and some serious side effects can be caused; the traditional Chinese medicine in China is obviously different from western medicine, and focuses on the overall disease, and emphasizes dialectical treatment methods, so that the treatment effect is more satisfactory and the side effect is small. However, the application of the traditional Chinese medicine preparation in clinical is relatively limited at present, and a large-scale experiment for treating pharyngitis in traditional Chinese medicine is lacked, so more scientific clinical research needs to be carried out.

Pharyngitis, which is characterized by repeated attack and prolonged course of disease, often brings adverse effects on daily life, study and work of patients, and causes great trauma to physical and mental health of patients. In addition, chronic stimulation continuously stimulates pharyngeal nerve endings, so the condition of the patient gradually worsens, and the use of antiviral and antibiotic medicines in clinic cannot achieve satisfactory treatment effect.

The novel coronavirus pneumonia (Corona Virus Disease 2019, COVID-19) belongs to the category of epidemic diseases from the perspective of Chinese medicine. The pneumonia patients infected by the novel coronavirus have the main clinical manifestations of fever, hypodynamia and dry cough, and all show certain symptoms of pharyngeal inflammation. The clinical manifestations of the patients with the mild cold-damp stagnation lung disease of the new coronary pneumonia comprise fever, hypodynamia, cough, expectoration and the like, and the clinical manifestations of the patients with the damp-heat stagnation lung disease also comprise dry cough, little phlegm and pharyngalgia.

"the previous medical treatment of disease" originally originated from the book Huangdi's classic: the "the former is treating the disease before the disease is treated, but not treating the disease, this is also called. The development of the disease has the rule of transmission and transformation in the both directions, and the correct traditional Chinese medicine intervention can block the aggravation or transformation of the disease in time. The traditional Chinese medicine intervenes in the early stage of the disease course, so that the traditional Chinese medicine does not develop any more, achieves the effects of early discovery, early intervention and early treatment, and has important practical and long-term values. Practice proves that early intervention of the traditional Chinese medicine is also of great significance in treating the new coronary pneumonia.

The ancient Chinese medical record of "tea is a medicine for treating diseases. The research shows that the tea contains the ammonia theophylline, the tea polyphenol, the caffeine, the theophylline, the theobromine and the like, has the effects of treating and protecting health for a plurality of diseases, and particularly has the effects of reducing blood pressure, preventing and treating arteriosclerosis, resisting radiation, preventing cancer, helping digestion, relieving fatigue and the like. Although tea has many pharmacological actions of traditional Chinese medicines, the effective action is very little.

Tea culture is an important component of the traditional culture of China. From ancient times to present, the health care tea has positive influence on life and health care of people. The medicinal tea, namely the tea agent, is an important member of the traditional Chinese medicine treasury, and is popular like drinking tea, and the tea and the Chinese herbal medicines are brewed or decocted for drinking, so that the aim of daily disease prevention is fulfilled. The traditional Chinese medicine book open-corner Guangya, the Suchu 'go out Song', the Shennong's herbal Jing Ji Zhu' of the Tao hong Jing, the Qianjin Yafang 'of the Sunxi, and the Waitai Mianzi' of the Wang decoction all have descriptions of selection and action of herb tea, and a plurality of new herb tea prescriptions appear at the same time, so that the traditional Chinese medicine book open-corner Yu and the Yuchu Guangxi have health-care herb drinks from Hou to civilian people.

The bagged Chinese medicine tea is prepared through processing tea into coarse powder, packing in paper bag, soaking in boiling water to eliminate dregs and drinking liquid medicine. The traditional Chinese medicine powder is developed from ancient Chinese medicine powder boiling and drinking agents, and has the effects of benefiting qi, assisting exhaustion, regulating yin and yang, removing evil, washing viscera and caring skin. The bagged steeping drug has the advantages of large dosage, small volume, convenient taking and quick dissolution, furthest retains the advantages and characteristics of the traditional decoction, is more close to the living habits of the public, and effectively develops the traditional decoction excessively into the mainstream of the popular drug formulation invisibly.

The traditional Chinese medicine bagged steeping preparation is firstly researched in Japan in the 70 th century of the 20 th century, Chinese also has special research on the traditional Chinese medicine bagged steeping preparation in the 80 th century of the 20 th century, particularly more detailed research on the aspects of preparation process, effective leaching rate, pharmacological action, clinical application and the like of the traditional Chinese medicine bagged steeping preparation is carried out, and blood pressure reducing bagged tea, eight-treasure bagged tea, Sichuan Shao tea bag-regulating bagged steeping preparation and the like are recorded in the drug Standard of Ministry of health of the people's republic of China.

In the actual tea bag, due to the consideration of use and economic value, the tea leaves are beaten into fan-shaped fragments to form a basic flow, which is in conflict with the aesthetic concept of famous tea, even if part of the tea bags are packaged by the tea bag, the tea bag is only required by overseas markets, and the development of the tea bag in the Chinese market is limited to a great extent. The original tea bag which does not break the tea and keeps the original shape of the tea seems to better meet the requirements of consumers in China.

The preparation process of the bagged steeping drug is simple, can keep effective components as much as possible, has the characteristics of high leaching rate, quick response, convenient taking and the like, and in recent years, the method for improving the leaching rate of the effective components of the medicinal materials is more and more emphasized, so that the research on special preparation processes is gradually increased, the quality and quantity are optimized, and the satisfactory result is obtained.

The climate characteristics in summer mainly show that the weather is changeable, warm in cold and warm, and the rainwater is gradually increased, and the climate is a season with multiple respiratory infectious diseases. The respiratory tract diseases are easily caused by the cold and hot weather, pathogenic microorganisms invade a susceptible human body through the respiratory tract, continuously spread outwards along with respiratory tract secretion and invade another susceptible organism to form the respiratory tract infectious diseases. After the traditional Chinese medicine tea is taken, the emotion is relaxed along with the qi of the hair growth, and the beneficial effect of early intervention and early prevention is achieved.

The method aims to find a new means for preventing and early treating respiratory infectious diseases such as pharyngitis (including symptoms and/or symptoms such as pharyngitis caused by novel coronavirus pneumonia), improve the life quality of patients, particularly control the relapse of acute pharyngitis, and start to re-view the traditional Chinese medicine method in clinic. In addition, considering that the common traditional Chinese medicine method is simple and easy, the misuse and abuse of antibiotic medicines can be effectively reduced, the adverse reaction is reduced, the long-term effect is satisfactory, and the method is worth popularizing and using in life practice.

the composition principle of the prescription is firstly seen in the Suwen-Zhi-Zhen-Yao university treatise on 'the principle that the principal disease is monarch, the assistant is monarch and the assistant is guide'. The principle of the prescription is enriched and expanded by doctors of all generations on the basis.

1. Monarch drug

It is a drug that has a main therapeutic effect on major diseases or major symptoms, i.e., it is designed to target at the main etiology, leading pathogenesis or major symptoms of the disease, and it is the core part of the prescription composition. Monarch drugs generally have the characteristics of stronger potency, less medicinal taste and relatively larger dosage. "major is the principal" means relative to the conventional dosage of the drug itself, rather than the absolute dosage in the formulation compared to other drugs, e.g., limited by the texture, quality and toxicity of the drug itself, e.g., lighter in light floral leaf type; the dosage of heavy materials such as shells is heavy; the dosage of the medicinal materials with strong quality and strong power is preferably small, otherwise, the dosage can be slightly large; the toxic herbs such as Wu Tou are used in small dosage even as monarch drugs.

2. Ministerial drug

The ministerial drugs have two meanings: 1) auxiliary monarch drug for strengthening the drugs for treating the major diseases or the major symptoms; 2) the medicine has main treatment effect on accompanied diseases or concurrent symptoms. The medicine has more medicinal flavor than the monarch drug, and the potency and the dosage of the medicine are smaller than those of the monarch drug.

3. Adjuvant drug

The adjuvant has three layers: 1) adjuvant drugs, i.e., drugs that combine monarch and ministerial drugs to enhance therapeutic effects, or drugs that directly treat secondary symptoms; 2) adjuvant drugs, which refer to drugs that eliminate or relieve the toxicity and side effects of monarch and ministerial drugs; 3) the anti-adjuvant drugs are the drugs with the property of being opposite to that of the monarch drugs and playing the role of the other drugs in the treatment when the drugs reject the disease.

4. Medicine for taking care of the drugs

The guiding drugs have two meanings: 1) the channel-guiding medicine can guide the efficacy of the traditional Chinese medicine to directly reach the focus; 2) the harmonizing herbs can harmonize the properties of the herbs in the recipe, coordinate the interaction of the herbs or correct the taste. The dosage of the drug is small and the number of the drugs is small.

Without being bound by theory, the inventors speculate that:

the burdock is pungent in flavor and cool in nature, and has the effects of dispelling wind evil, detoxifying and relieving sore throat; honeysuckle flower, flos Lonicerae, sweet in flavor, cold and fragrant, can dispel wind-heat, clear heat and remove toxicity, and is used as monarch drug in combination. The ministerial drugs use the pungent and warm perilla leaves which are not dry, release the exterior and dissipate the pathogenic factors and also disperse lung qi; the medicine is specially used for lung meridian such as blackberry lily and platycodon root, and has the effects of dispersing lung qi, eliminating phlegm, relieving sore throat and relieving cough. Radix Paeoniae Rubra cools blood and removes blood stasis; charred fructus crataegi is used as adjuvant drug for astringing lung and relieving cough; licorice root, radix Glycyrrhizae can relieve cough and resolve phlegm, and harmonize the effects of all the drugs as an adjuvant. The medicines are combined to play the roles of dispelling wind, removing toxicity, ventilating lung and relieving cough.
