中藥藥材麻黃的主要成分－麻黃□與假麻黃□是運動員禁用藥物，運動員若服用含有麻黃之科學中藥將有誤用禁藥之虞。許多中藥方劑中含有麻黃以治療感冒諸症狀，亦被用於祛風濕與袪濕，少部份的補益與固澀劑中亦含有麻黃。本研究之目的在探討含有麻黃的市售科學中藥中用於治療肢體、肌肉、關節等處酸痛等症狀之袪除風濕的方劑名稱與適應症；同時並探討其他具有袪濕（袪除濕邪，治療各種濕症）、補益（補益人體氣血陰陽不足、治療各種虛症）及固澀（斂汗固表）作用但含有麻黃的科學中藥。結果顯示：至民國八十九年二月底止，行政院衛生署許可且含有麻黃的內服科學中藥中袪風濕劑有167件、袪濕劑有21件、補益劑1件及3件固澀劑；另有2件是治療跌打損傷、瘀血停滯的健身運功散。在167件袪風濕劑中有20件非中醫書籍所記載的，為廠商應自行命名的方劑；另有少部分之袪濕與補益劑之組方與傳統中醫書籍所記載的有差異。
