Antibiotics for viral URTIs and bronchitis are ineffective and even harmful due to potential side effects as well as the contribution to the development of bacterial resistance [ 4]. Despite widespread knowledge of the associated risks, antibiotics are frequently prescribed to patients with URTIs and bronchitis [ 5]. To combat this issue and to assist physicians in the challenge of alleviating acute cough caused by viral illnesses, a strong evidence base regarding the efficacy and safety of non-antibiotic cough remedies in adults and children is needed.

Measuring the efficacy of therapies for acute URTIs and bronchitis is challenging as symptoms typically recede after 5–11 days, regardless of intervention [ 27]. Correspondingly, the clinical condition of participants improved in both treatment and comparison groups. Values for the minimal clinically important difference (MID), or the smallest change perceived by patients as important, are available for two of the tools used to measure cough severity in the studies in our review: 17 mm for the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and 2 points for the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ, Online Resource 2) [ 28]. One RCT reported VAS differences of 11.1 and 17.9 mm between treatment and placebo groups at day 3 and at the end of the treatment period, respectively [ 23]. Based on the MID, the effect of ivy leaf treatment at 3 days was likely too small to be perceived as important by patients but the difference after 7 days was potentially clinically noticeable. The CCT reported an LCQ difference of 4.3 at the end of the treatment period, indicating a potentially clinically noticeable difference [ 26].Take Prospan ® by Helixia ® for at least 1 week or longer depending on the nature and severity of your condition. It is recommended to keep taking Prospan ® by Helixia ® for 2–3 days after your symptoms have disappeared. Please refer to the above chart for proper dosage by age. Warnings & Precautions Two included studies were at low risk of bias per the Cochrane assessment. This is a minimal improvement to our previous systematic review, in which 1 of 10 included studies was of robust quality per the Jadad scale [ 10]. All but 1 of the remaining studies were at high or critical risk of bias. The standard of reporting was poor. Half of the RCTs and all OSs measured cough severity subjectively using unblinded outcome assessors. Comedication was expressly allowed in 5 studies [ 18, 21, 23– 25] and not specified in 3 [ 16, 17, 26], limiting the validity of conclusions . Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.
