From
everyone has experienced a number of experienced cold, although no serious problem is inevitably hard to endure several days. Cold medicine therefore become our close partner in the family medicine chest is also pivotal role of drug industry called \
But go
familiar familiar with the use of cold medicine that we have not thought of when one of the tricks. In fact, the cold medicine use and selection, there are still many problems to note, in this can not help but want to share with you.
First is that a cold
cold medicine before that to see if we have to deal with small problems - cold
cold is a respiratory tract infection, is caused by a virus. This is also hardly a new knowledge, but I can not help but want to emphasize it. Cold is caused by a virus, antibiotics kill bacteria that can not work for colds. I have seen on the network reproduced in a widely-called \Thus, it is the use of these drugs there is still a lot of misunderstanding. Cold in the treatment of the use of antibiotics alone will not achieve any therapeutic effect, and adverse reactions and may increase the resistance of intestinal bacteria, detrimental. Even in the cold at the same time a bacterial infection occurs, the use of antibiotics, it must decide how to use by doctors, patients should not be free to use. Please be sure to pay attention to this point.
cold Another important feature is that it is a kind of \Want to eradicate drugs is a difficult task, most cold medicines are only indicators is not a cure, only responsible to relieve symptoms. For this kind of \Because of this characteristic of a cold, making the \In fact, if relatively mild flu symptoms, this is precisely the most sensible choice, drink plenty of water, plenty of rest, waiting to heal on its own line.
However, in a cold fever, stuffy nose, cough, and many other symptoms will always be hard to endure, but also for people in poor physical condition, not a cold may increase the risk to control the risk of complications. At this time, we need cold medicine to help.
Understanding of cold medicine ingredients
common cold medicine is usually the following components in a combination of several categories.
anti-inflammatory drugs is primarily for these drugs in the heat cold symptoms, both pain and reduce inflammation in (acetaminophen does not reduce the inflammatory response.)
common anti-inflammatory drugs are: aspirin, acetaminophen (paracetamol), ibuprofen (the active ingredient Fenbid), diclofenac (Voltaren this is, the pain in the sprain strain used a little more) and so on. That several common anti-inflammatory drugs, and there is not much difference on the efficacy of the treatment doses are also safe, but should note the following when used:
many of these drugs have side effects on the gastrointestinal , in which the gastrointestinal irritation of aspirin on the maximum. Although the time as a fever medicine usually only a few days, for most people will not immediately appear discomfort, but patients with peptic ulcer should not be used.
virus infection in children and young people (of course, including the flu) is if you use aspirin fever, a rare but may occur can be fatal side effects (Ruiyi syndrome, manifested as severe liver damage and encephalopathy). Therefore, anti-fever medicine for their children, avoid aspirin and paracetamol to choose as well.
In addition, aspirin has a significant anticoagulant effect, can increase the risk of bleeding. So not to aspirin and other anti-clotting effect of drugs (such as warfarin) also used before surgery should stop taking it early.
when taking anti-inflammatory drugs should also be careful not to drink, or increase the side effects and liver damage.
last to emphasize that this class of drugs suitable for long-term use, if he does not improve after a few days at home, medication, be sure to go to hospital for treatment and medication do not continue for a long time.
allergy
in the cold, the body produces more histamine (A by the body to produce, can cause allergic reactions in the material), resulting in the nose, such as itching, runny nose, sneezing and the like allergic symptoms. So often in the cold medicine will add the role of histamine allergy medication to alleviate these symptoms. Cold medicine commonly used in anti-allergic ingredient is chlorpheniramine (chlorpheniramine) and diphenhydramine.
with allergy to note that the common people of these drugs have side effects of drowsiness, eat it inevitably groggy. Therefore, the need for dangerous driving or operation (high-altitude operations, manipulation of the machinery, the challenges in the valleys like a tightrope), please do not use ingredients with anti-allergy drugs, so that energy can not concentrate, an inattentive accidents. The daily visible and night into day tablets of cold medicine tablets (such as white with black, day and night, one hundred Ning, etc.), in which the Japanese film \No technical content). The cold medicine tablets in the car at the time so you can rest assured that use, but the corresponding ease the symptoms so they could not.
in cold decongestant medicine, we often find a stuffed nose, breathing becomes difficult. And to alleviate this situation is to rely on decongestant medicine.
in the cold, small blood vessels in nasal mucosa congestion and swelling, making the nasal mucosa is also swollen, which resulted in a nose ventilation situation. The decongestant drugs can make blood vessels become thin, so as to reduce this swelling, breathing will become smooth so the.
commonly used in cold medicine is a decongestant drug pseudoephedrine. Caused by storm several years ago \
use decongestant medicines should be noted that such drugs can make blood vessels, but \In other words, it has a wide range of contraction of blood vessels, which means that after use can cause increased blood pressure. This is normal blood pressure were not enough to pose a threat, but which is suffering from high blood pressure should be careful. Hypertensive patients taking cold medicine containing pseudoephedrine to be careful, and if the situation is very serious high blood pressure will completely disabled.
In addition, certain pseudo-ephedrine on central nervous system stimulant that can be counted as a stimulant, so the players before the game should be avoided.
expectorant cough medicine and cough syrup and cold medicine commonly used in cough medicine is dextromethorphan class. This is a central nervous system directly through the inhibition of cough medicines,
monster pro headphones, are useful for all kinds of cough. Drugs acting on the central nervous system not far from the total gives the feeling from the ecstasy, but not all of dextromethorphan may be worried about addiction issues, according to the instructions correctly is safe enough to use.
while the other alternative codeine cough medicine is not as safe. Than morphine, codeine is only one more methyl group, and 10% in the human body will be transformed into morphine, the addiction can be imagined. Therefore, the codeine will not appear in the cold medicine. Would also like to remind you that, unless the need, do not ask the doctor to open his own cough medicine containing codeine, even if the real need, and do not long-term use (my students once asked a patient at the hospital to see doctor He does not need the codeine format, hope this is only one case). The way a strong reminder: Federal cough syrup codeine is the main component, please try to avoid using, in particular, avoid long-term use.
and expectorants to make a liquefied sputum dilution or drugs can make it easier to cough up sputum. Expectorants commonly are guaiacol glyceryl ether, carbocisteine and so on.
using these two drugs should be noted that, if it is the case of cough and phlegm, cough medicine alone is not suitable, it would be difficult to discharge mucus. At this time should be used in cough medicine and expectorant. In fact, the market there are many kinds of drugs is to cough and expectorants to form joint compound, and also very convenient to use.
antiviral
finally said to me! Antiviral students in the corner after squatting for a long time to issue such a feeling in tears.
Indeed, if nothing else the virus infection, antiviral drugs must be the number one hero. However, in the treatment of influenza, the antiviral drugs but it is not high status.
this one of the reasons. One is a cold fact
nothing magical anti-viral effects. Can be used to antiviral treatment for influenza, \However, just a cold start usually very mild symptoms, you want to start immediately detected immediately after the onset of medication is not an easy task. So antiviral drugs will often not be of much really had.
Second, nothing in fact, the need for anti-viral colds. Indeed, only anti-virus is essential for the treatment of a cold, but even so a manager can have a good eye disease, the root of the problem also becomes less necessary. Moreover, the good effects of antiviral drugs to combat the virus not only side effect is considerable, and if the application is too broad because too many viruses to develop resistance to them can also cause big trouble. So I am sorry antiviral students, a cold area in the treatment of bench players when you have to give out.
cold medicine in the commercially available antiviral drugs that can see only one - amantadine. The drug is in addition to cope with illness, influenza virus also has a role. If you want it to play the power, keep in mind \
Caffeine Caffeine
with enhanced role of anti-inflammatory drugs, to some extent, can alleviate allergy caused by drowsiness, and therefore often add an ingredient in cold medicine.
Chinese medicines are often made of cold medicine may contain Chinese medicines. Of Chinese medicine is not done in this discussion, but to emphasize that a lot of cold medicine Chinese medicine Western medicine will also add the ingredients, in this case, be careful not to re-take the medicine contain the same ingredients, or prone to overdose . There is, Chinese medicine does not mean that safety factor, how much more does not mean that eating can be, please use strict accordance with the instructions or doctor.
Combat Raiders
Finally, it said
combat against flu drug strategy in the selection bar. Since cold medicine is the main component of symptomatic drugs, drug selection and the principle of natural selection is what symptoms the drug with the corresponding elements, there is no corresponding symptoms do not need to chose the drug.
taking cold medicine, the most in need of attention problems is to prevent duplication of medications. At last I have a list of common cold medicine ingredient list, can be seen from the table, different brands of cold medicine, the ingredients a lot of overlap, or even just a different name, same ingredients. This means that if at the same time taking some cold medicine, it is likely to cause some of the ingredients dose exceeded safe limits. Once taking the drug excess, security, lost guarantee. For example, acetaminophen in large doses on the liver injury is obvious. Therefore, when using cold medicine do not usually use two or more simultaneously, even while using some drugs, also necessary to determine where there are no duplicate or the same kind of composition, so as to avoid adverse consequences.
In addition, children should try to use children when drug-specific drugs, or read the manual carefully the instructions on the use of children. In the absence of a clear understanding when the child directly to the usage and dosage of drugs adult children (not only refers to the cold medicine) is a great risk.
last wish to point out that allergy problems. The above-mentioned drugs may cause allergies, even the allergy is no exception. If the instructions in the drug discovery process is not explained, unusual symptoms, it may be caused by a drug allergy, then should be discontinued and to the hospital.
final offer common cold medicine ingredient list, I wish you all good health ~ ~
