There are more than one or two differences between a Chinese pharmacist and a pharmacist

I began to take traditional Chinese medicine at the end of last year I found that the weight of several traditional Chinese medicine taken by the same side in the pharmacy was different Some of them were poured into the decoction cans, some of them were filled with one can, some of them were filled with more than half of them Our reporter Meng Xingshi correspondent Niu Jin and Qian Xudong investigated: after finding that the same medication is at most 68g worse, Aunt Wang was curious She found an electronic scale to weigh all these traditional Chinese medicines As a result, she found that 13 medicines were seized and 10 different weights were weighed The heaviest bag is 203 grams, and the lightest one is 135 grams There is a difference of 68 grams Mrs Wang tangled: "it means that the amount of medicine in it is not the same Can the effect be the same? It's ok if the dosage is small If the dosage is large, there may be side effects " On March 1, the reporter came to the pharmacy where Aunt Wang often bought medicine He found that when the patient took the medicine, the herbalist only weighed the total weight of each traditional Chinese medicine, and then divided it into several parts by hand For example, the prescription stated that 50 grams of licorice, 50 grams of Platycodon grandiflorum, etc generally refers to the formula of a medicine The doctor asked the patient to take the medicine according to the prescription for 10 days every day Then the pharmacist of traditional Chinese medicine will weigh 500 grams of Glycyrrhiza at once, and then put them into 10 traditional Chinese medicine bags separately In this process, the reporter found that the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacist directly took the way of hand grasping distribution and no longer weighed them Reporter asks: "when cent medicine, do not weigh again?" "Yes," said the herbalist, "it's too slow if you take it one at a time It's too long to feel it." Reporter visits, so many of the sub medicine so, Chinese medicine master by hand to grasp the drug, how much weight difference? The reporter stopped a citizen who had just bought traditional Chinese medicine at the door of the pharmacy and took him to the nearby supermarket for verification It was found that the citizen had bought 6 Chinese herbal medicines According to the prescription prescribed by the doctor, the total weight of each medicine taken by the citizen should be 114 grams As a result, according to the supermarket, the highest six medicines he took this time were 149.9 grams, and the lowest one was 100.8 grams, with a difference of nearly 50 grams Later, the reporter visited several pharmacies and found that many Chinese pharmacists divide drugs by hand So, if the weight of several traditional Chinese medicines in the same prescription is different, will they affect the efficacy? Inaccurate measurement will affect the curative effect Liu Hongmiao, a Chinese pharmacist in charge of the pharmacy department of the first hospital of Hebei Medical University, said that traditional Chinese medicine stresses combination and compatibility to play a role together, and inaccurate unit measurement will change the therapeutic effect Small amount can not achieve the effect, delay the illness Large quantities may have adverse consequences "A prescription often contains more than ten medicinal materials When doctors prescribe a prescription, the dosage of the medicine is of importance to each other, so as to maximize the therapeutic effect of the medicine and reduce its side effects If the quantity is not accurate, it will affect the therapeutic effect and may even enhance the side effects If you don't get that exact feel, you'd better weigh it according to the rules Otherwise, it's easy for the Chinese pharmacist The patient can't stand it!
