Description
Zubing Zhou and co-authors pool trials of a two-drug add-on therapy for chronic lung disease, in a meta-analysis from two thousand twenty-three. The pair joins an astragalus injection, from a traditional herb, with a mucus-thinning drug. Fourteen trials with over one thousand patients met the bar.
The add-on beat standard care on overall response rate by a wide margin. Blood oxygen rose and carbon dioxide fell with the pair. Lung function measures, including one-second blow volume, also improved. One ratio measure did not clearly change. The authors call the pair a valid option but ask for stronger trials to confirm.
