:''Main results - [...] There was no evidence that homoeopathic treatment can prevent influenza-like syndrome [...] Oscillococcinum treatment reduced the length of influenza illness by 0.28 days (95% CI 0.50 to 0.06). Oscillococcinum also increased the chances that a patient considered treatment to be effective (RR 1.08; 95% CI 1.17 to 1.00) [...] Authors' conclusions - Though promising, the data were not strong enough to make a general recommendation to use Oscillococcinum for first-line treatment of influenza and influenza-like syndromes. Further research is warranted but the required sample sizes are large. Current evidence does not support a preventative effect of Oscillococcinum-like homeopathic medicines in influenza and influenza-like syndromes.''<ref>Andrew Vickers, Claire Smith: ''Homoeopathic Oscillococcinum for preventing and treating influenza and influenza-like syndromes'', The Cochrane Library, 15.4.2009, DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD001957.pub3 [http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD001957.pub3/abstract abstract]</ref>
