Recently, this picture named "Novel coronavirus taking medicine Sequence map" has been widely circulated on the Internet and in the circle of friends. From the early, middle, late and even prevention stage of common drugs, it has been collected and praised by the major netizens at the present time when the novel coronavirus is normalized. More people for the distribution of drugs summed up the drug law: "cold medicine is the boss.”
But is cold medicine really a god? Is the medication in this picture really so reliable? Are there no risks associated with various combinations of Chinese and Western medicines? Maybe not.
Chinese and Western medicine mix, careful liver and kidney failure risk
Since the lockdown has been lifted across the country, the government and enterprises have significantly reduced their requirements for travel and work (removing the location code and no longer checking nucleic acid test reports in some areas). The main reason may be that the mild symptoms caused by COVID-19, the social and economic benefits and the convenience of the people are taken into consideration.
However, there is no denying that since the resumption of work, the proportion of colleagues and friends around me who have changed from Yin to Yang has also increased significantly. At least many colleagues around me have taken time off after being diagnosed with the disease. It is in this atmosphere that people who have never stocked or prepared medicine before unconsciously start to buy medicine. Naturally, various drug preparation guides similar to the one in the above picture are also emerging one after another. Among the drugs that have been snapped up, the largest proportion is naturally cold medicine, which is known as the "god of anti-epidemic medicine".
But what we don't know is that many common cold medicines are not pure Chinese medicine. Many cold medicines also contain antipyretic and analgesic ingredients. In some aspects, the idea that Chinese and Western medicines work and traditional Chinese medicines break the root is actually wrong from the beginning. It can even cause acute liver and kidney failure.
Take the author's illness as an example, after symptom aggravation, frequent headache, diarrhea, high fever, on one day to eat Gankang, ibuprofen, cold Ling and even flower Qingwen four drugs, in that extremely uncomfortable situation, although the ingredients between drugs have scruple, but it has been difficult to carefully review the detailed ingredients, some just hope to eat quickly better. Fortunately, there were no major problems after that, but I still feel afraid now.
The existence of drugs is reasonable, the cold medicine as the first drug in the daily treatment of cold, the core purpose of adding acetaminophen is to make western medicine help Chinese patent medicine quickly effective, its itself has taken into account the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, finally patients in the process of buying medicine, taking medicine, Chinese and Western medicine mix is actually a little bit of the meaning of icing on the lily. In addition to the serious situation of repeated drug use in cold medicine, hypoglycemic drugs, antihypertensive drugs and digestive tract drugs also face the same problem, and the superimposed effect of repeated drug use has become a problem that cannot be ignored in "Chinese and Western medicine compound preparations".
In the face of today's novel coronavirus treatment, remember not to take a variety of cold medicines together, do not take cold medicines containing acetaminophen, but also take antipyretic medicine!
The repeated use of cold medicine compound preparations and Western medicines has existed for a long time in history, as reflected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the fact that some Chinese patent medicines contain western ingredients is also an inevitable result of fixed historical stage.
With the development of The Times and the discovery of side effects of Chinese and Western medicine compound preparations, more and more medical experts have raised doubts about "Chinese and Western medicine compound preparations". They believe that this kind of compound preparations do not conform to modern medical theories, nor traditional Chinese medicine theories. There are many unknown problems in preparation technology and quality control. However, there is no research data to confirm the difference in efficacy between the drug and chemical drug alone, and the study of drug interaction is also a blank.
Therefore, after the introduction of the Drug Administration Law in 1985, China stopped the approval of new Chinese and Western drug compound preparations through continuous improvement and perfection of the registration and approval, and the situation is expected to further improve in the future.
