(1) It is not advisable to drink alcohol and medicinal liquor when taking some western medicines. After drinking and medicated wine, do not take the following drugs continuously:
① Heavy drinking and taking barbiturates can cause severe central depression. Moderate drinking and taking barbiturates at the same time will cause obvious central depression, make patients' reaction ability low, judgment and analysis ability decline, and have obvious sedative and hypnotic effects. If the dose is increased, it will lead to coma and accidents.
② Psychotropic drugs such as chlorpromazine, promethazine, perphenazine, diazepam, diazepam and antiallergic drugs such as chlorpheniramine, cyproheptadine and diphenhydramine have synergistic inhibitory effects on the central nervous system. Light makes people sleepy, and heavy makes people's blood pressure drop, leading to coma and even respiratory depression and death.
③ When taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors, the activities of various enzymes in human body will be inhibited. At this time, drinking alcohol will increase the concentration of acetaldehyde in the blood because the enzyme system that decomposes alcohol is inhibited, leading to acetaldehyde poisoning, nausea, vomiting, headache, blood pressure drop and other reactions. Alcohol can also induce the increase of drug catabolic enzymes, thus shortening the action time of anticoagulant drugs.
④ Alcohol can inhibit coagulation factors and dilate peripheral blood vessels. So alcohol and anticoagulant can't be taken at the same time.
⑤ Drug-enzyme induction of alcohol can accelerate the decomposition of rifampicin and enhance its toxicity to liver; It can also accelerate the decomposition of phenytoin sodium, aminopyrine and other drugs, thus reducing the role of drugs.
⑥ Diabetic patients should abstain from alcohol during taking medicine, because a small amount of alcohol can increase the secretion of drug enzymes, reduce the efficacy of hypoglycemic drugs such as insulin and hypoglycemic drugs, and make the therapeutic effect fail. If you drink a lot of alcohol, it will inhibit the secretion of traditional Chinese medicine enzymes in the liver, enhance the role of hypoglycemic drugs, lead to serious hypoglycemia reaction, and even coma and death.
⑦ Patients with cardiovascular diseases should abstain from alcohol when taking medicine to avoid serious adverse reactions; Patients who take nitroglycerin, if they drink a lot, will cause gastrointestinal discomfort, blood pressure drop and even faint.
Patients with hypertension who drink alcohol and take antihypertensive drugs such as hydralazine or diuretics such as furosemide, uric acid and chlorthalidone will all cause postural hypotension. When taking Youjiangning, the reaction will be more serious, such as nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, dyspnea and even hypertensive crisis.
9 Alcoholism will increase and induce the side effects of many drugs. Alcoholics will have alcoholic hepatitis. For example, taking methotrexate will interfere with choline synthesis, aggravate liver injury, increase alanine aminotransferase, and cause hepatic encephalopathy and respiratory depression.
Attending alcohol and aspirin can inhibit the secretion of gastric mucosa, increase the shedding of epithelial cells, destroy the barrier effect of gastric mucosa on acid, block the role of vitamin K in the liver, prevent the formation of prothrombin in the liver, cause hemorrhagic gastritis, aggravate gastric bleeding or lead to gastric perforation and other serious consequences.
The combination of alcohol and sulfonamides will enhance the psychotoxicity of alcohol. However, the combination of griseofulvin and wine is prone to emotional abnormalities and neurological symptoms. When alcohol is used with digitalis preparations such as digoxin, it can reduce the blood potassium concentration, enhance the body's sensitivity to digitalis drugs, and lead to poisoning.
(2) It is necessary to prevent "behind closed doors" and not to use tonic wine too early when external evils are not exhausted, so as not to leave evil spirits. In order to prevent deficiency and replenish deficiency, patients with chronic deficiency syndrome can only recuperate slowly, and can't replenish deficiency suddenly. Or, in the raw materials of nourishing medicinal liquor, add transport-aiding products to avoid being bored with the stomach. In addition, it is also necessary to prevent "hurting yang and consuming body fluid", and those with yang deficiency and internal cold should not make up for it, so as not to help yin and hurt yang; People with yin deficiency and body fluid deficiency should not be warm, so as not to help fire and hurt yin.
(3) During pregnancy, we should pay attention to avoid taking medicinal liquor, especially some medicinal liquor with abortion and abortion nature, to prevent the consequences of abortion. Drinking alcohol in pregnant women can also cause harm to the fetus. Women should not drink medicated wine during lactation to prevent adverse effects on babies. Children generally should not take alcohol orally, but they can use it for external use.
(4) The patient's drinking amount should be considered, and it should not be too much, so as not to cause dizziness, vomiting, palpitations and other adverse reactions. For patients with low fever, night sweats, emaciation and weakness, red cheekbones and fever of hands and feet, medicinal liquor should also be used with caution, because most medicinal liquor is pungent and dry, and it is easy to turn fire into liquid. Some diseases, such as hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, peptic ulcer, infiltrative or cavitary tuberculosis, epilepsy, cardiac insufficiency, chronic nephritis, chronic colitis, etc. It is not advisable to take medicated wine to avoid aggravating the condition.
(5) It is advisable to drink health-care medicinal liquor in winter and use it sparingly in hot summer. Because some medicinal liquor is composed of drugs for invigorating qi or yang, these drugs are warm, easy to help inflammation and damage yin, leading to symptoms of yin deficiency and hyperactivity of yang, such as five upset, bitter taste, dry throat, insomnia and dreaminess.
(6) In the process of using medicinal liquor, if you have a cold, fever or other diseases, you should consider the appropriateness before deciding whether to continue using medicinal liquor. If you need to stop treating new diseases, you can resume drinking medicinal liquor after curing the new diseases.
(7) People who are allergic to alcohol should not use Chinese medicinal liquor. Special precautions for some medicinal liquor (such as no sexual intercourse, etc.). ) should also be strictly observed to ensure that medicinal liquor can play a medical and health care role in preserving health and eliminating diseases.
(8) When drinking Chinese medicinal liquor, you should avoid cold, greasy, fishy and other foods that are difficult to digest and have special irritation, and you should also pay attention to taboos. Eating by mistake after taking medicine often reduces the curative effect or causes adverse reactions, so we should also pay attention to dietary taboos when taking medicine and drinking alcohol. If you take medicinal liquor made of ginseng, don't drink tea, because tea can detoxify and affect the curative effect.
When choosing medicinal liquor for preventing and treating diseases, we must be guided by the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, and choose different types of medicinal liquor according to the patient's physical quality, age, gender and degree of illness.
