Many people have heard this saying, "It is the medicine of three poisons". All drugs have third-degree toxicity, which is understood by most people. Chopin tells you seriously that this understanding is actually inaccurate.

First of all, the word "three" in "three-point toxicity of drugs" is a general term, which can be understood as a small amount here, and does not exactly refer to three-point toxicity or 30% toxicity.

According to textual research, this sentence comes from Huangdi Neijing. In ancient Chinese, "San" is generally a general term, for example, think twice before you act, and a threesome must have a teacher. Nowadays, many people are used to understanding this sentence literally, thinking that all drugs have two-thirds toxicity, but this is actually a narrow understanding.

Secondly, the word "poison" in "three-point poison" refers to the side effects of drugs. When drugs are used to treat diseases in the body, it will bring some side effects to the body, because drugs will act on multiple targets in the body after being absorbed into the blood through the stomach, but not every target needs drug treatment, which will hurt innocent people.

The side effects of drugs are inherent properties of drugs and cannot be avoided. In other words, any medicine has side effects, whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine. For example, ferrous sulfate and other iron-containing drugs in western medicine will slow down intestinal peristalsis and may also make patients constipated; Aristolochia and Tripterygium wilfordii in traditional Chinese medicine will directly damage the human kidney and have side effects on it.

Many people think that the "poison" in the "three-point poison of drugs" is the toxicity of drugs to the body, which will cause serious adverse reactions to the body. As a result, people have a fear and rejection of drugs. Afraid of seeing a doctor after getting sick, I have been dragging my feet. Finally, the best treatment opportunity was delayed, and the minor illness dragged into a serious illness, which was not worth the loss.

The State Food and Drug Administration of the United States stipulates that drugs that can improve a certain disease after clinical verification and will not cause obvious damage to the patient's body can be listed.

Everyone's physical condition and disease characteristics are different. When using the same drug, the therapeutic effect is different and the severity of side effects is different. Not everyone will have side effects, and not all side effects will show up.

So the essence of this sentence is that all drugs have side effects, so don't take medicine casually.

When taking medicine, only take medicine according to the doctor's advice, do not overeat, pay attention to the physical reaction after taking medicine, and communicate with the doctor in time if there are any adverse reactions, so that the attitude of taking medicine is healthy.

I hope you don't be afraid of doctors, and don't take medicine with experience and remedies at will. Go to the hospital and ask a professional doctor to diagnose and take medicine after getting sick, so that you can recover quickly.
