Finiflu

Christopher Ian Wright

Abstract

I would like to raise awareness of ‘Does Finiflu (containing garlic, onion and chilli) provide symptomatic relief from cold and flu? What is the evidence base for this remedy?’ published in Advances in Nutrition and Food [1]. This article assesses the evidence base for ‘Finiflu’ a natural remedy for the symptoms of cold and flu and approved in 2009 by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia [2]. However, the evidence for Finiflu had never been researched and was the focus of this research.
