Not defeated by the new crown, but entered the ICU because of indiscriminate medication?

Recently, the "New Ten Rules" issued by various departments have been promulgated, which have adjusted and optimized
epidemic prevention and control measures.

In particular, for the cancellation of normalized nucleic acid, the cancellation of landing visas, and the lifting of control personnel, etc.
, this time also adjusted for "new crown positive isolation", from the original centralized isolation to home isolation
.

The new crown positive home isolation, which also means that the new crown is spreading in society, is also an important step
under the optimization of epidemic prevention measures.

Some experts predict that the trend of the new crown epidemic will reach a peak of infection within 1 month, but when it will end after that, this model will be more complicated
.

Because of this, some people are worried that they will be infected, and there are different degrees of drug hoarding in various places
.

As more and more residents hoarded medicines, the number of patients with drug-induced liver injury visiting hospitals increased dramatically, and even people were sent to the ICU
.

How many mistakes have you made about taking COVID medication?

According to the report released by the State Food and Drug Administration, 90% of China's residents have drug misunderstandings, especially in the following eight aspects, many people have been recruited
.

1.
Time of medication

The results of the data survey show that more than half of the population does not know the correct way to take medication, such as meals, meals, meals, and bedtime
.

Regarding the meal, some people mistakenly think that it is taken before each meal, but in fact, the meal refers to the amount of medication for a day taken at one time, and the pre-meal dose refers to taking the medicine 30 minutes before the meal, and the post-meal dose is generally taken 15~30 minutes after the meal
.

Taking medicine before going to bed does not mean lying in bed and then taking medicine, it refers to taking medicine about half an hour before going to bed, which can avoid drug retention in the esophagus and prevent the problem of
esophageal ulcers.

2.
Shelf life

Although the shelf life of the drug is relatively long, if the drug is opened, try to take it in the shortest possible time, especially nitroglycerin
.

Once opened, the shelf life is no longer so long, it is best to use it within half a year, otherwise the efficacy will be greatly reduced
.

Similarly, eye drops have high sterility requirements, cannot be used in a short period of time, and need to be
stored under refrigerated conditions.

3.
Milk medication

Some people are too lazy to boil water in order to save time, so they casually pick up drinks and take medicine, such as milk is one of them
.

However, doctors said that some drugs cannot be taken with dairy products, otherwise they will combine with the calcium ions in them, affecting the absorption
of drugs.

4.
Capsules should be taken apart

The purpose of the existence of capsule medicine is not only to cover up the bad smell, but also because after special design, the capsule drug will not melt in the stomach, if it enters the intestine, it will play a better effect
.

If taken apart, the effect of the drug will be greatly reduced, and unnecessary side effects
may also occur.

5.
Take medicine with hot water

Studies have found that some drugs are particularly sensitive to temperature, such as vitamins, as well as various live vaccines and preparations containing live bacteria
.
If the water temperature exceeds 40°C when taking the medicine, it is easy to be oxidized and destroy the ingredients
.

6.
Take double your pills

There are many complicated things in life, patients will inevitably forget to take the drug, others in order to make the disease improve as soon as possible, so they double the next dose, but this practice will only increase the burden
of the liver to break down toxins.

7.
Drink plenty of water after taking medicine

For special drugs, in order to reduce toxicity and avoid damage to the kidneys, it is essential
to drink more water every day after taking the drug.

However, there are also some drugs that do not need to drink more water after taking it, and even require temporary water absence, such as aluminum hydroxide capsules, sucralfate and other drugs
that protect the gastric mucosa.

8.
Stop the drug on your own

Some patients think that it is a three-point poison, and after the symptoms improve, they take their own medicine, but in fact, this is very harmful to the body
.

Drug treatment requires a certain period of transition, especially infectious diseases, only to achieve a sufficient course of treatment can completely control the infection, once the drug is stopped at will, the previous achievements will be lost
.

The existence of drugs can indeed alleviate the uncomfortable symptoms caused by the disease, but if the medication is improper, it will also add unnecessary burden to the body, especially the eight common medication misunderstandings mentioned above, do not do it again
.

At the same time, after having a disease, you can not buy your own medicine, the correct way is to go to the hospital, determine the cause, and use the drug according to the
doctor's guidance.
