Résumé

Le mal de gorge est un des motifs de consultation en médecine générale les plus fréquents. Pour le soulager, outre les traitements allopathiques usuels, la prise de produits de phytothérapie peut être envisagée. L’intérêt d’un produit de phytothérapie associant des extraits de sauge et de sureau, de l’huile essentielle de menthe poivrée, du miel et du zinc dans la prise en charge du mal de gorge a été évalué in vitro en mesurant son activité sur les principaux pathogènes impliqués dans les angines (microméthode en milieu liquide) et au cours d’une enquête observationnelle prospective conduite en pharmacie d’officine. Une activité bactéricide a été observée à la fois sur les bactéries à Gram négatif (Branhamella catarrhalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum et Haemophilus influenzae) et à Gram positif (Streptococcus pyogenes) étudiées ainsi qu’une activité antivirale visà-vis du virus para-influenzae de type 3. Cette activité a été maintenue après dilution du produit au 1/64. Les données recueillies au cours de l’étude observationnelle suggèrent que le produit de phytothérapie peut soulager le mal de gorge et les symptômes associés en particulier la sensation de gorge sèche et l’érythème dans un délai de 17 minutes en moyenne après pulvérisation du produit. Tout en éliminant les éventuels pathogènes impliqués, le produit de phytothérapie pourrait donc soulager la douleur et les symptômes associés au mal de gorge. Ces résultats devront être confirmés au cours d’une étude clinique.

Abstract

Sore throat is one of the most common reasons for consultation in general medicine. Besides the usual allopathic drugs, phytotherapy can be envisaged for its management. To assess the relevance of a product combining extracts of sage and elder, peppermint essential oil, honey and zinc for the management of sore throat, its effect was evaluated in vitro against the main pathogens involved in sore throat (broth microdilution method) and in a prospective observational study carried out in pharmacies. Bactericidal activity was observed against all Gram-negative (Branhamella catarrhalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum and Haemophilus influenzae) and Gram-positive (Streptococcus pyogenes) bacteria strains; antiviral activity was also tested against type 3 para-influenzae virus. Product activity was maintained at 1:64 dilution ratio. Data collected during the observational study suggest that the product can relieve pain and other symptoms such as dry throat sensation and erythema within 17 minutes on average after spraying. While eliminating possible pathogens involved, the product could relieve pain and symptoms associated with sore throat. These results will have to be confirmed in a clinical trial.
