In many people's minds, Chinese medicine is the representative of "no" or "few" side effects, so we relaxed our vigilance in the use of Chinese medicine. Whether it's intractable diseases or minor injuries and pains, we all want to relieve the treatment by prescribing several pairs of Chinese medicines. I have always felt that even if it is not very effective for treatment, it can at least be good for the body and will not hurt the body. In fact, Chinese medicine is not completely without side effects. Improper use is not only difficult to achieve curative effect, but also harmful to the body. Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica roughly divides the prescription efficacy of different Chinese medicines into seven categories: single line, mutual promotion, mutual fear, mutual evil and opposition. Among them, "mutual evil" and "opposite" two collocation effects mean that taking different kinds of Chinese medicines may reduce each other's efficacy and even produce toxic and side effects on the body. If Huang Cen with lung warming effect is mixed with ginger with lung clearing effect, it will lead to drug interaction and weaken the therapeutic effect; The mixed use of Rhizoma Corydalis and Semen Strychni will enhance the toxicity of Semen Strychni, and may even be life-threatening. Therefore, whether it is western medicine or Chinese medicine, you should take it carefully to avoid harm to your body. Don't mix these drugs, be careful of side effects: 1. Shugan pills and metoclopramide Chinese patent medicine Shugan pills contain peony, which has analgesic and spasmodic effects, while metoclopramide, a western medicine, will aggravate gastric contraction and lead to increased gastric discomfort. 2. Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae Loquat, Yixindan and caffeine, atropine Chinese patent medicines Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae Loquat and Yixindan all contain alkaloids, which are easy to enhance drug toxicity and cause drug poisoning when mixed with caffeine. 3. Salvianolic acid and tanshinone contained in Danshen tablets and Weishuping Danshen tablets will react with aluminum hydroxide contained in Weishuping to form aluminum conjugate, which is not easy to be digested and absorbed by intestinal tract, thus reducing the curative effect. 4. The amygdalin contained in the snake bile Fritillaria liquid, morphine, demerol, codeine, snake bile Fritillaria liquid and the western medicine behind it all have the effect of inhibiting breathing, and the combination of the two will enhance the toxicity and easily lead to respiratory failure. 5. Taking Zhuanggu wine, Guogong wine and aspirin together will lead to ethanol in alcohol aggravating gastrointestinal symptoms, enhancing gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea and vomiting, and even leading to gastrointestinal bleeding. 6. Pueraria lobata and Huashan participate in nitrate drugs. Huashan's participation in nitrate drugs will weaken each other's efficacy, while pueraria lobata and nitrate drugs may have toxic and side effects, leading to a drop in blood pressure and life-threatening. There are many drugs that can't be mixed, and it's difficult to explain them one by one, but what needs to be known is that even traditional Chinese medicine should be taken according to the doctor's advice to avoid self-judgment. When eating Chinese medicine, we should also pay attention to the following points: many people feel worse after drinking Chinese medicine, and most of them will throw the pot to the doctor, thinking that their medical skills are not good, but they are not. There are also many taboos in taking Chinese medicine. If you use it well, you must use it correctly. Have you done all the following four things? First, people with special physique and special period should use Chinese medicine with caution. Even the use of traditional Chinese medicine should be treated dialectically, combined with the patient's own physique and actual situation. Chinese medicine believes that women in physiological period and pregnancy, or patients in operation period and recovery period, should use Chinese medicine with caution. Otherwise, it will not only fail to achieve the expected conditioning effect, but also increase the physical burden and reduce the physical quality. Second, avoid taking Chinese medicine for a long time. Many people always regard Chinese medicine as a tonic and think that eating Chinese medicine can cure diseases and strengthen the body. However, we should know that even some traditional Chinese medicines, such as coix seed and lily, are not suitable for long-term excessive consumption, and should be taken appropriately according to personal physique. This is not only related to the right medicine for personal physique, but also should be noted that all drugs may cause burden or even damage to the main organs of the human body. For example, some traditional Chinese medicine beauty packages popular in the market are mostly bitter and cold herbs. Long-term use not only damages the spleen and stomach, but also may cause black colon disease. Third, avoid not prescribing the right medicine. For Chinese medicine, it is the most important idea to prescribe the right medicine and treat it according to syndrome differentiation. All drugs should be combined with symptoms, and there is no real "panacea". Even Banlangen, which most people keep at home, should not be taken when there is nothing to do. It is a bitter cold medicine, which is more likely to damage the spleen and stomach for people with deficiency-cold constitution. Therefore, although Chinese medicine has the effect of strengthening the body, the premise is to prescribe the right medicine. Fourth, pay attention to diet during taking. We all know that once we need to take medicine, the doctor will tell us to pay attention to our diet. The same is true of Chinese medicine. In order to achieve better curative effect and even avoid conflicting nature, more attention should be paid to daily diet. For example, when taking drugs to warm meridians and dispel cold, avoid eating cold food; When taking nourishing drugs, such as Radix Astragali and Ginseng, you should eat less dissuasive foods, such as radish. In addition, during taking Chinese medicine, you should avoid drinking strong tea and eating meaty food, which will affect the drug absorption and weaken the curative effect.
