A traditional Chinese cough syrup (糖浆), called Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa (念慈庵川贝枇杷膏), is flying off the shelves
in New York stores this flu season, following a US news report.
According to a report in The Wall Street Journal last week, Mr. Alex Schweder, a professor of
design at Pratt Institute suffering a cough for about 10 days, felt better 15 minutes
after he drank a bottle of Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa. It had been recommended by his girlfriend,
who first learnt about the cough syrup 30 years ago when she was living in Hong
Kong.
Mr. Schweder was shocked by the magical effects of the cough
syrup, and recommended it to many people. This, together with other factors, soon
made the Chinese medicine popular in New York City.
A 300ml bottle is now sold at US$13.29 on Walmart's website.
This is more than double the former price in some pharmacies (药店) in Manhattan's Chinatown, selling at about US$6 per bottle.
"The number of Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa we sold over the past few days was much
more than usual," said Winnie, a sales staff member of Buy-rite pharmacy in
Chinatown. "More and more Westerners are accepting this medicine because it
is effective," she said.
According to the Kingworld Medicines Group's official website,
Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa is made of "valuable Chinese herbs and honey, and has surprising
effects in treating coughs." However, experts warn that taking the cough syrup
can carry health risks, including when it is used with other medicines, used too
much or taken instead of prescription medication (处方药).
Dr. Keith Brenner, a specialist in pulmonary medicine at Columbia
University Medical Centre New York Presbyterian Hospital, said, "I think people
who use these things may not even tell the doctor about them, and it's a problem."
