Frequently asked questions
What is Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa (川贝枇杷膏) used for?
It is a traditional Chinese herbal syrup, based on honey and loquat leaf, used to soothe a dry, tickly or irritated throat. It is a traditional herbal preparation rather than a licensed medicine and is not intended to cure a cough or treat any disease.
Where can I buy authentic 川贝枇杷膏 in the UK?

Can children take Pei Pa Koa?
Follow the age and dose guidance printed on the pack, which gives a smaller amount for children. It is not suitable for infants under 1 year because it contains honey. If you are unsure, ask a pharmacist.
Is it suitable for people with diabetes?
The syrup is honey-based and high in natural sugars, so people with diabetes or who need to limit sugar should check with a pharmacist or their healthcare team before taking it.
How long can I take it for?
It is intended for short-term throat comfort. If a sore throat or cough lasts longer than 7 days, keeps returning, or comes with a high temperature, chest pain or breathlessness, stop using it and see a pharmacist or GP.
