(Original title: The use of medicine storage is stressful! How to ensure the safety of household medicine)
[China Pharmaceutical Network Health and Health] There are two types of drugs promoted in China, one is prescription drugs and the other is over-the-counter drugs. For over-the-counter drugs, it is easy to take, safe to use, and stable in quality. Even so, these non-prescription drugs can not be purchased blindly, and the precautions must be taken seriously.
First, understand the health status of the family and determine the necessary medicines for the family.
Although family members have many common habits, their physiques are different, especially in terms of medication, individual differences are relatively large. As an adult at home, be familiar with the health status of all family members and past medical history, and determine the type and quantity of family-based medications.
Drugs suitable for household storage are generally over-the-counter drugs. They are clearly labeled on the packaging and can be purchased directly at the pharmacy without a doctor's prescription. For example, there are corresponding over-the-counter drugs for treating common colds, body aches, indigestion, and cough. . You need to choose a drug that treats common, frequently-occurring, and chronic diseases in your family based on your family's health.
Take the example of a typical Chinese family with “the old is old and the young is smallâ€: the functions of the elderly are already in a recession stage, and various geriatric diseases are gradually emerging. They should be prepared for some common pains, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc. Drugs for diseases; young and middle-aged people face high-intensity work pressure, need to spare some drugs to treat muscle and joint pain, protect the liver and nourish the stomach, and protect against chills; women prepare some treatments for common gynecological diseases, such as dysmenorrhea drugs can also be prepared Children are more sensitive to drugs than adults, and if they are used recklessly, they may cause permanent damage to their bodies. It is generally necessary to give children a spare treatment for diarrhea, cough, fever and other drugs.
It is recommended to establish a case file for family members, and to save the records of treatment and medication for each family member in a folder, which is of great significance for the safety of household medication.
First of all, the family case file will play the role of "long illness into a doctor". If you suffer from the same minor illness in the future, you can use the drug according to the case. If you need to go to the hospital, family cases will help doctors to diagnose the condition more accurately. Secondly, the type of medication, the frequency of medication, the time of each medication, the dose, the cycle of medication, and the matters requiring special attention can be written on the medical records to help the family to use the medicine accurately.
In general, the over-the-counter drug and drug instructions have already stated the time of taking the drug, and the prescription drugs also have the time for the doctor to take the drug, but many people still take the medicine according to the habit, such as taking the medicine at three meals or taking the medicine after the meal. In fact, each drug has an effective concentration maintenance time in the blood after taking it. The treatment interval is too long and there is no guarantee; too frequent, it may lead to drug poisoning. In addition, the medication also has a certain treatment limit, can not be arbitrarily stopped, can not be used more than once, to achieve the desired results should be discontinued.
Second, pay attention to the label and approval number when purchasing.
All over-the-counter drugs have red and blue labels on them, red for type A, blue for class B, and the same for drug instructions. Be sure to see what the ingredients are and what the indications are. In addition, it depends on whether there is a nationally approved document number on the medicine box and must be in Chinese. There must be an invoice for the purchase of the drug, and if there is a problem, it will be used as a certificate in the future.
Third, take the medicine at the right time.
Different medicines also have requirements for the time of taking the medicine. Some medicines are served before meals, some medicines are served after meals, and some require fasting clothes, and some are taken once a day (referred to as the service). Some drugs are three meals a day, such as hypoglycemic drugs are often linked to the meal. I forgot to take the medicine. This kind of situation often occurs. There is a principle in handling. If the time of forgetting is very short, for example, it should be taken at 8 o'clock in the morning, and it will only be remembered at 8:30. This time, it can be supplemented. For example, the results should be forgotten at 8:30 in the morning, and only after thinking in the afternoon, then continue to take a dose, and do not increase the amount.
Fourth, pay attention to the interaction between drugs.
This is especially important for the elderly. There are two reasons for this: First, the metabolism and excretion capacity of the elderly is lower than that of the young, and the amount of drug needed should be adjusted downward. Secondly, the elderly often suffer from a variety of diseases. The total number of drugs taken is often higher than that of young people. Therefore, the possibility and consequences of interaction may be more than that of young people, and they must be serious, so they should be highly concerned.
Fifth, try to use less combined drugs.
Some drugs are combined to increase the efficacy; some drugs are used in combination to reduce the effect, or increase the toxicity. Therefore, it is best to use a single product for household use or a combination of both drugs.
6. Pay attention to the interaction between drugs and food.
A patient taking simvastatin for hyperlipidemia, he drank a can of grapefruit juice every day, and severe rhabdomyolysis occurred 5 days later. The reason is that grapefruit juice is a strong inhibitor of liver enzyme metabolism, which makes simvastatin drugs unable to metabolize and has serious side effects. Also pay special attention to alcohol, try not to drink alcohol during any medication, otherwise it is easy to react immediately with the drug. Milk also conflicts with some drugs. For example, tetracycline antibiotics, macrocyclic ester antibiotics, and calcium in milk combine with these drugs to form insoluble substances that cannot be absorbed by the body.
7. Prevent the abuse of drugs.
Drug abuse is arbitrarily used regardless of the condition, the target of the drug (elderly, adult, child) and drug performance. This method is ineffective, prolongs the treatment time, and delays the treatment time to make the condition worse, causing pain to the patient.
