Medicine is too old to cure

"Chinese herbal medicine is a special agricultural product Some of the dishes on the market are fresh, some have rotten leaves, some have insect bites, and the prices are different So are the traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal pieces The quality of the same kind of traditional Chinese medicine is 369 " Tang Hongmei, chief physician of the pharmacy department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of traditional Chinese medicine, told reporters that the quality of traditional Chinese medicine purchased by different pharmacies may be different "Even if a good prescription of traditional Chinese medicine is found, if the quality of the traditional Chinese medicine you are going to grasp is not good, its curative effect will be greatly reduced." A bag of Chinese medicine with two tastes has gone mouldy A few weeks ago, an Abel took the prescription and made a price in the hospital He complained that the price of the three medicines was yuan more than that of the medicine shop outside Abel didn't take the medicine in the hospital, but took the prescription and left A week later, the pharmacy staff met the uncle again and asked him why he didn't go outside to get the medicine Abel said that for the same prescription, the medicine taken outside is thin and the color is light, so it's better to go back to the hospital to take the medicine People in the hospital office told reporters that a patient went out with a prescription and caught the deteriorated Chinese medicine After eating it, he felt that the curative effect was not good He mistakenly thought that the prescription was wrong The doctor asked him to go to the pharmacy of the hospital to dispense medicine and try again The disease was really good soon "Someone found Deng Lao (Deng Tietao) to see a doctor through the relationship, but we want him to go to the designated traditional Chinese medicine room to dispense medicine, so as to ensure the curative effect and avoid the bad traditional Chinese medicine damaging Deng Lao's reputation." At the end of August this year, Mr Liu, who worked in the media, took a traditional Chinese medicine for rhinitis and found Tang Hongmei The prescription of this pair of traditional Chinese medicine is opened in a national medical center, and the medicine is prepared in a chain of medicine stores Tang Hongmei thought that there was no problem with the recipe, but several Chinese herbs had expired and even mildewed - the price of Dangshen was not only very fine, only two of the ten could be used, and the rest were all black; the price of Xanthium was also dark brown, and the normal color should be yellow green, which was obviously not fresh "How can we cure the disease by eating this kind of expired and moldy traditional Chinese medicine?" Tang Hongmei said Tang Hongmei thinks that there are three reasons why the deteriorated traditional Chinese medicine appears on the market First, unlike western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine does not take effective period management Up to now, China has not formulated compulsory laws and regulations on the effective period of traditional Chinese medicine How long traditional Chinese medicine can be stored depends on hospitals and pharmacies The turnover of large hospitals is very fast The drugs in small pharmacies of small hospitals may not be used up for half a year or even several years If the storage conditions are not good, mildew, oil spilling and moth eaten will occur Secondly, the price of Chinese herbal pieces has been reduced in recent years In order to reduce the pressure of drug price reduction, some pharmacies have to replace the inferior with the best, or use the inferior to the superior, or use the lower price to push the fresh Chinese herbal medicines to the market Third, for the deteriorated Chinese medicine, some drugstores destroy it, and some drugstores secretly wash it and dry it before selling it Tang Hongmei told reporters that some experienced patients know that the quality of traditional Chinese medicine can be divided into good and bad ones, so after prescription, they directly dispense medicine from the hospital Some people who come to see the doctor from other places even use large luggage bags to take medicine back from Guangzhou painstakingly A rheumatoid arthritis patient from Shantou came to Guangzhou to have a look at the disease Because each prescription can only prescribe 7 doses of medicine, so he asked the doctor to prescribe 10 prescriptions and 70 doses of medicine in the hospital pharmacy The pharmacist asked him why he didn't take the prescription back to Shantou for dispensing The old patient said that the same prescription was dispensed in different places, and the medicine boiled out was different He drank the medicine every day, and he could drink the difference with a sip Tang Hongmei said that some large hospitals in Guangzhou gradually use small bags to pack Chinese herbal pieces, which is totally different from the previous pharmacists who used to grab the drugs out of several cabinets and wrap them together This packaging method has many advantages, first of all, it ensures that the traditional Chinese medicine is clean and will not be polluted by the price of insects and cockroaches; second, it is sealed to reduce oxidation and decomposition, which is not easy to pan oil, which is conducive to preservation; third, the dosage is accurate, the pieces have been packed according to the specifications in advance, and the pharmacist only needs to take the small package medicine to the patients according to the prescription "In addition, the quality of this kind of packaging is relatively uniform Once in the big container, the pharmacist grabbed the medicine one by one When he caught it, the medicine in the container would be broken and old The effect of the medicine is naturally different The small packaging also guarantees that the medicine will not be mixed When the pharmacist grabbed the medicine, the medicine in the upper container would not fall into the lower container." According to Tang Hongmei, small packaging is also good for meeting the patients' right to know "Drugs are labeled so that patients can easily identify them After getting the drugs, they can check with the medical records." I wish you good health.
