Medicine points out that there are also many problems that need attention when taking Chinese patent medicine. Taking Chinese patent medicine blindly without authorization will not only fail to cure diseases and preserve health, but will bring harm to health.
Taking Chinese patent medicine based on syndrome differentiation is the most basic principle of Chinese medicine. At present, there are many kinds of Chinese patent medicines, and there are dozens of Chinese patent medicines for treating colds, and colds have different symptoms such as wind-cold colds, wind-heat colds, and summer-dampness colds, so it is necessary to take symptomatic Chinese patent medicines for treatment.
For example, cold medicines such as Yinqiao Jiedu tablets can be used to clear away heat for wind-heat colds, and pungent medicines such as Zhengchaihuyin granules are needed to dispel cold for wind-cold colds. If we don't pay attention to syndrome differentiation, using spicy Chinese patent medicine for wind-heat cold will lead to fever and aggravate the condition.
Care should be taken when taking Chinese patent medicines. Although Chinese medicine is safe, there are many taboos. Oily food will affect the curative effect, and alcohol, tobacco and spicy food will also destroy the effect of Chinese medicine, and even react with Chinese medicine ingredients, which will damage health.
Therefore, taking Chinese patent medicine needs to pay attention to diet, reduce greasy and spicy food, and quit bad living habits. In addition, common sense problems such as not eating radish when taking Chinese patent medicines containing ginseng also need to be highly valued.
When taking Chinese patent medicines, it should be noted that Chinese patent medicines with different doses and time have different requirements for dosage and time. In terms of dosage, unless there is professional Chinese medicine guidance, generally do not exceed the dosage on the instructions, otherwise it will easily cause adverse reactions. In taking time, cold medicine is easy to damage the spleen and stomach, and should generally be taken at meals or after meals. If there is still no obvious effect after taking the medicine for two weeks, you should see a doctor in time to avoid delaying the treatment.
