Common mistakes in taking medicine:

1, Myth 1: Taking health food as medicine will delay the illness and endanger life.

Entering an aging society, people pay more and more attention to medical care. Some elderly people, especially those with chronic diseases, are worried about the side effects of long-term medication and are eager for health. They mistakenly believe that health food has a direct effect on diseases and take health food as medicine.

In this regard, Lixia Ding said that health food refers to foods with specific health care functions or for the purpose of supplementing vitamins and minerals, not for the purpose of treating diseases. Health food is not a medicine, has no clinical therapeutic effect and cannot replace medicine. Elderly friends regard health care products as life-saving straws, and stopping taking drugs without authorization or using health food to control their illness will delay their illness.

Liu Huiyang, an expert in popularizing safe drugs in Chinese Pharmaceutical Association and director of the First Affiliated Hospital of PLA General Hospital, said that patients with chronic diseases should treat their diseases correctly, choose appropriate drugs under the guidance of doctors, and don't blindly believe that health food and blood pressure and blood sugar lowering instruments can replace drugs, so as not to cause various serious acute and chronic complications.

2. Myth 2: Multiple drugs are harmful to the body.

In order to relieve symptoms as soon as possible and not affect the interview, Xiao Wang, who caught a cold, took three cold medicines at random, causing hematuria and was diagnosed as acute glomerulonephritis. In life, many people think that taking more medicine when they are sick will make the effect stronger and get better faster.

Liu Guiyang said that when people buy medicines, they should pay attention to the fact that medicines containing the same ingredients should not be taken repeatedly. For example, many Chinese patent medicines, ostensibly Chinese medicine, are actually mixed preparations of Chinese and western medicine. For example, the hypoglycemic drug Xiaoke Pill contains glibenclamide, a western medicine ingredient. When combined with other hypoglycemic drugs, the dosage is superimposed, which may lead to adverse reactions and even life-threatening.

3. Misunderstanding 3: Be careful to increase the amount of drug change at will.

People generally lack the knowledge of safe medication, and there are some misunderstandings in family medication, such as increasing or decreasing the dosage at will and changing the medicine at will. Lixia Ding said that many patients with hypertension don't take medicine at ordinary times. They only take medicine after symptoms such as dizziness and headache, and stop taking medicine as soon as the symptoms disappear, but it is very dangerous.

Most antihypertensive drugs generally take about 1 week to achieve the maximum effect. Sudden increase in dosage or switch to other antihypertensive drugs will easily lead to greater blood pressure fluctuation, increase the risk of stroke, myocardial infarction and kidney damage, and make the condition worse.

The use of antibacterial drugs also has the phenomenon that patients add drugs at will and change drugs at will. As we all know, the efficacy of antibacterial drugs depends on the effective blood concentration and course of treatment. If the effective blood concentration and course of treatment are not reached, the bacteria will not be completely killed, but will develop drug resistance and increase the difficulty of treatment.
