A netizen once posted on a social platform that Lianhua Qingwen Capsules contained a large amount of ephedra, claiming that it would cause hallucinations and addiction after taking it, and even described Lianhua Qingwen as an "aphrodisiac" and urged not to take it.
The Chinese Medicine Pharmacists Association also issued a statement in response, stating that the content of ephedra in Lianhua Qingwen Capsules is lower than that recommended by the Department of Health, "a level that is far, far away from being addicted."
The netizen "thought that 5 grams of ephedra is already ephedrine, and the same ingredients of medicinal materials are two things", hoping to correct the public's misunderstanding of Chinese patent medicines.
Ou Jingtong emphasized that the prescriptions used by patients with cold and heat vary, and drugs should be prescribed according to the actual conditions of the patients.
