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 assistance, mutual fear, mutual aversion 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 mutual resistance of drug efficacy 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.
These drugs can't be mixed, so be careful of side effects:
1, Shugan pill plus metoclopramide
The prescription of Shugan Pill, a Chinese patent medicine, contains Paeonia lactiflora, which has the effect of relieving pain and spasm, while metoclopramide, a western medicine, will aggravate the contraction of the stomach, leading to the aggravation of stomach discomfort.
2. Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae Loquat, Yixin Dan, Caffeine and Atropine
Chinese patent medicines Chuanbei Loquat and Yixindan both contain alkaloids, which are easy to enhance drug toxicity and cause drug poisoning when mixed with caffeine.
3. Danshen Tablets and Weishuping
Salvianolic acid and tanshinone contained in 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, snake bile Fritillaria liquid and morphine, Demerol, codeine
The amygdalin contained in Shedan Chuanbei liquid and the western medicine behind it can inhibit breathing, and the combination of the two will enhance toxicity and easily lead to respiratory failure.
5. Zhuanggu Liquor, Guogong Liquor and Aspirin
When these two drugs are taken together, ethanol in alcohol will aggravate gastrointestinal irritation, enhance gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, and even cause gastrointestinal bleeding.
6. Pueraria lobata and Huashan participate in nitrate drugs.
Huashan's participation in the mixed use of nitrate drugs will weaken each other's efficacy, while the mixed use of pueraria lobata and nitrate drugs may produce 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 these points:
There are many people who have no effect after drinking Chinese medicine, but feel that their health is getting worse. 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?
A, special physique, special period of careful use of traditional Chinese medicine.
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 thought of Chinese medicine to prescribe the right medicine and treat it according to syndrome differentiation. All drugs should suit the remedy to the case, and there is no real "panacea" in the world. 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.
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.
