Elderberry Extract Outpatient Influenza Treatment for Emergency Room Patients Ages 5 and Above: a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

ConclusionsWe found no evidence that elderberry benefits the duration or severity of influenza. Post hoc analysis suggested primary outcomes with elderberry taken alone (without oseltamivir) were 2  days worse than with placebo taken alone. Our results contradict previous studies and demonstrate the need for further studies.Trial RegistrationNCT03410862
