Everyone takes medicine, everyone seems to be a very simple thing, but in fact very few people really "will" take medicine. When taking medicine, there are actually many taboos that need attention: for example, if you take the medicine and if you can swallow it.
Misunderstanding 1, tea, juice medication
Tea contains hundreds of structurally complex chemical components, such as theophylline, tannic acid, glycosides, theobromine, and caffeine, which react with many drugs. For example, painkillers are acidic. If tea is used, It will neutralize the acid and alkali and lose its efficacy.
"There are acidic substances in fruit juice, which can cause many drugs to decompose in advance, or dissolve the sugar coating in advance, which is not conducive to gastrointestinal absorption." Li Xiaohua said that calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc. in milk can affect the efficacy by combining with the drug ingredients. Precipitation affects absorption, and fats and proteins in dairy products also affect the absorption of certain drugs.
Misunderstanding 2, the difference between "use with caution, avoid use, disable"
"Careful use, avoidance, and disablement" are mainly distinguished by the severity of the consequences.
"Careful use" refers to drugs that may cause adverse reactions when used in humans and should be used with caution, but it does not mean that they cannot be used. Observe after use, if any adverse reactions should be immediately disabled. The elderly, pregnant women, children, and people with poor liver and kidney function should be particularly careful when using such drugs.
"Just use" is to avoid using it. The adverse reactions of some medicines are relatively clear, and it is more likely that people who are not suitable to take them will have adverse consequences after use. If the condition is urgently needed, drugs with similar pharmacological effects and less adverse reactions should be selected instead, and other drugs may also be combined to counteract the side effects. Such as sulfa drugs on the kidney damage, impaired renal function were hanged; isoniazid on liver cell damage, liver dysfunction should be hanged.
"Disabled" is absolutely prohibited. Serious adverse reactions can occur if used. Those who are allergic to penicillin are absolutely prohibited from using such drugs. Aspirin is forbidden in patients with gastric ulcers, which may cause stomach bleeding.
Misunderstanding 3, dry swallow drugs
Many people think that taking medicine is a simple matter. Although medicine instructions are generally written with warm boiled water for delivery, some people think it is easy to swallow drugs or drink only one drink of water. Going to achieve the purpose of taking medicine. In fact, this method of taking medicine is very undesirable.
"Drying up drugs or drinking enough water will also have a certain effect on the absorption of drugs in the body." Drinking more water when taking drugs can not only speed up the dissolution of the drug in the stomach, but also reduce the gastrointestinal irritation of drugs. Reduce the damage of stomach acid to medicines. "Besides taking medication, you should carefully read the drug instruction booklet. If there are special requirements for taking the drug, the instructions will indicate."
Misunderstanding 4, take a break
The most common tablets are ordinary tablets, coated tablets, sustained-release tablets, and controlled-release tablets. Ordinary tablets can generally be opened or chopped and taken without affecting the efficacy. Coated tablets are mainly drugs that have a bitter taste, a large odor, or need to be dissolved in a specific environment such as the intestines. If taken open, the tablets will dissolve when they enter the stomach and cannot reach the intestine safely. This will not only affect the drug's normal function, but it will also stimulate the gastric mucosa, so it cannot be taken openly. Sustained-release tablets and controlled-release tablets usually contain several times the amount of regular tablets. If they are taken apart, they will cause rapid release of the drug and the drug concentration in the body will suddenly rise, causing drug poisoning.
Misunderstanding 5, medication time
"Medicine before meals is taken from 30 to 60 minutes before meals. Any drug that requires full and rapid absorption of the drug and is not irritating should be taken before meals. For example, metoclopramide, domperidone, etc., which promotes gastric motility drugs."
Medications in meals are mainly metformin, acarbose, yeast tablets, and other hypoglycemic agents. "Meals are taken after meals 15 to 30 minutes after meals. They must be taken before meals and must be taken before bedtime. The rest of the medication can be taken orally after meals, especially for the stomach irritant drugs, such as aspirin, sodium salicylate, etc. need to be taken after meals."
“Before taking medication means taking medication about half an hour before going to bed, like hypnotics, laxatives, anthelmintics, antiallergic drugs, etc. are suitable for bedtime.†Because of the role of hormones in the body, the body’s blood pressure at night is low, so Pressure medication should not be taken at night.
Myth 6, sleep immediately after serving
Many people have the habit of taking drugs before going to sleep or in bed, and think that taking a break immediately after taking the drug can help the drug absorb.
"Actually, sleeping right after taking the medicine, especially when the amount of water is low, will often make the drug stick to the esophagus and not easily enter the stomach."
"Do not sit or stand while taking the medication. Do not sit on your back immediately after taking the medicine. Stop for a moment. Use the gravity of the medicine to make it pass through the esophagus quickly to prevent it from staying in the esophagus, delaying the action of the medicine and damaging the esophageal mucosa."
Why should I avoid taking spicy foods?
Doctors often remind patients that they should “not eat spicy and irritating foods†when taking medicines; they are often reminded on some drug instructions.
It is because spicy food stimulates the taste nerves and the peripheral nerves in the mouth, making people feel excited and have an appetite. In particular, liquor has blood and blood circulation, helps digestion, and promotes blood circulation. Appropriate consumption can prevent colds, resist cold and rheumatism, and prevent frostbite. Pepper contains a lot of vitamin C, can prevent night blindness, scurvy and so on. However, there are obvious side effects on the patients who are taking medications, which will not only make the drugs fail, but may also cause adverse reactions with the drugs.
